You are not your thoughts

When you get cravings for your substance of choice thoughts feel like facts, for example:

"If I don't drink I can't socialize"

Try to rephrase these thoughts as:
"I think that if I don't drink I can't socialize"
or
"I notice that I am thinking again that if I don't drink I can't socialize"

Feel the difference and see if it helps to take a different course of action.
