Cravings feel strong but they do pass. Next time one hits:

• Set a timer for 10 minutes
• Drink some water
• If you can, go to another room or for a walk

When the timer ends, check how it feels. If this is happening a lot, it's worth speaking to someone.

If you're thinking about cutting down or stopping, try this today:

Write down
• When you usually drink or use
• How you feel just before
• What you could do instead

Keep it short, for example
After work → stressed → go for a short walk

This is about noticing patterns and interrupting them.

If you want help with this, contact us or speak to your GP.

[If you are physically dependent reducing too much or stopping suddenly can be risky. Please get advice first]

Friday is World Sleep Day.

Sleep has a massive impact on mental health and recovery. Lack of sleep can increase stress and make cravings harder to manage.

Small things can help improve sleep over time, for example regular bedtimes, reducing screen use late at night and getting outside during the day.
