How Do I Deal With Cravings and Triggers?

Let me paint you a picture. You walk into the grocery store for a normal errand… and suddenly the beer aisle lights up like a Christmas tree. You weren’t planning on drinking. You weren’t even thirsty. But out of nowhere, the craving hits. If you’ve ever found yourself negotiating with your own brain - "Maybe just one.""No, don’t do it.""Come on, you deserve it." -  then you know exactly what I’m talking about. In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we’re continuing the 4-week series from my book:Sober Guy: How Do I? — Real Answers for Men Who Want to Quit Drinking, Lead Strong, and Win at Life.

They’re temporary. And they don’t control you.
