Urges are a normal part of quitting or reducing substance use. They can feel intense, but they usually rise, peak, and pass. Just like a wave.
Urge Surfing is the practice of noticing an urge without immediately acting on it. Try pausing, breathing, and asking: Where do I feel this in my body? What am I needing right now? What happens if I wait 10 minutes?
You don’t have to fight the wave. You can ride it out.

Image Description: A light blue background with photorealistic ocean waves at the bottom. Large text above the waves displays a quote from Jon Kabat-Zinn: “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” Logos for Kent State University's Counseling and Psychological Services and Collegiate Recovery Community are on opposite top corners in blue.
