Plan to deal with urges
step by step
Where do you start? Urges build up over
a period of time, then reach a peak before
slowly fading away. It may take a couple
of hours to work through this cycle at the
beginning.
To begin deliberately testing yourself, first
look at advertisements for alcohol, either on
TV or in a newspaper. Next, you could learn
to resist any urges triggered by the sight
of empty drink cans or bottles. Finally, you
might go into a pub with your supporter.
Success in resisting these urges under
these conditions should give your
confidence a boost.
But be warned! At each step there’s a danger
that you will give in to an urge. Before putting
temptation in your way, be sure that you can
cope with it and that support is on hand. Slow
and steady progress is what is wanted.
