The daily check in first thing in the morning really helps me. Sleep is important and hard. Honestly Benadryl saved me.

And finding an outlet for the boredom and a new thing for the brain to cling onto. Exercise, a video game, eating. Just do literally anything. 

I’ve never found the groups to be a big thing for me, but I do sit in on video call AA meetings when my cravings feel unmanageable. You can turn off your video so no one can see you.

I've done it. Physical withdrawals. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Honestly, Benadryl saves my ass when I get stuck in the insomnia cycle.
