TACTICS FOR DEALING WITH CRAVINGS

OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND

This is more a prevention technique than a coping strategy. You’re much more likely to want a drink if it’s right in front of you. It’s like sweeties at the checkout. If it’s right in front of you, calling your name, it’s much harder to ignore. So tear up that application for a Saturday job at Oddbins before it’s too late.

If you haven’t removed all alcohol from the house already, now would be a good time to do so before it starts its siren song and lures you onto (Scotch on) the rocks.

If your partner/flatmate/the voices in your head say it’s not fair to ban all booze from the house, consider this: how would they like it if they set themselves a no-TV-for-a-month challenge and you insisted on inviting mates round to watch the latest crime drama every week? Anyway, it’s only for one month. Just tell ’em, ‘Suck it up, princess,’ and at the very least, hide the booze away.

On that note, don’t feel the need to test your will power. I mean, if you were on a diet, would you book a tour of Cadbury World? There are temptations enough out there that we don’t have control over – in pubs, clubs, supermarkets – so let’s just deal with the ones we can control.
