Getting over initial cravings
For about 10 years now I've not been able to past that initial immense craving on a Friday or Saturday evening and always (90%) of the time gave in or nearly subconsciously drive to buy booze.
Always a heavy binge every weekend despite wanting not to, weekends and weeks following not drinking I never been happier yet the craving just gets more intense and usually followed by a 2-3 day bender instead. It's as if the happier I am sober, the more I want to eventually booze but it's the booze that is the cause of all my issues (anxiety, feeling low after weekends, low drive).
Anyone who was in this binge drinking rut what crazy things did you do to break the cycle? I've tried to keep main workouts to weekend but it doesn't work I just force myself through them hungover and last Saturday I was actually 8 drinks in before training legs.
I was genuinely thinking of camping every weekend for a while or something. Any suggestions welcome, I am someone who enjoys chaos and a massive foodie also.
