I’m home alone and haven’t had any alcohol since the beginning of October, about 7 months now. My wife and daughters went out, and I was here at the computer, but all of a sudden I got this insane urge to drink. I don’t know what’s happening. I tried going to sleep, but I can’t. Being on the internet didn’t help, watching TV didn’t help either. I thought about putting on my sneakers and going for a walk, but I got scared I might stop somewhere along the way and buy beer.

I don’t know what to do. I feel frustrated and crazy at the same time. I know the consequences and all the effort I’ve put in up to this point, but these thoughts and cravings won’t leave me alone. What’s the best thing to do right now to get out of this spiral?
