Coping With Urges

~ " People do not lack strength, they lack will " ~

When starting off in your recovery from alcohol, drugs or other addictions,
Prepare yourself to deal with urges.  Unfortunately, coping with urges
Is inevitable.  Make a plan that you are going to follow when you are
Faced with dealing with urges and here's the challenging part, Stick
To Your Plan!  Try not to think of the urges as intolerable.   It will be difficult
To get past the urges but not impossible.   Remember the list you created
When you were reading our getting started page?  Look at the list to
Remind yourself of why you wanted to quit and the consequences
You might be faced with should you give in and let the urges get the
Best of you.  Do something, distract yourself.

You CAN get through the urges and know that they will lessen with time!
