Coping with Cravings

  • 🔵 Use the Craving Button in the Reframe Toolkit to begin the 20 minute cravings timer (the average length of a craving only lasts this long!)

  • 🌳 Go outside and get some fresh air, take a walk

  • 💃 Movement of any kind - dance in your kitchen, turn on a yoga video, go for a run

  • 🛑 Leave any sort of triggering situation that you may be in, if possible

  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Call your support network, plug into the sober-curious and alcohol-free community online, reach out to like-minded peers

  • 🛌 Take a nap or go to bed early

  • 🧘‍♂️ Use calming essential oils or scents that bring you peace

  • 📒 Journal - write about where you see yourself in one year

  • 🥑 Eat a nourishing snack or meal with healthy fats and proteins

  • 🎨 Create something with your hands - art, knitting, clay, a vision board

  • 😎 Put on something that makes you feel confident - a favorite shirt, a bold lipstick, your power shoes

  • 💕 Turn your attention to someone else - get down on the floor to play with your kids, lighten your partner’s load by doing one of their normal chores, bring a warm meal to a friend


Whatever helps to redirect your attention, even for just a few minutes, will help you get through the next craving. And the craving after that? It’ll be even easier to bust as your brain unlearns the behaviors it learned in the past. You can do this.
