Ep 12: Reframer Question - How Do I Resist the Urge for a Post-Work Drink?

In today’s episode we're going to do something slightly different and that is to answer a question sent by one of our Reframe users.  This question is related to ideas on resisting the urge for the post-work drink as well as dealing with the temptation to stock up on alcohol when you're at the grocery store.  I wanted to share some ideas and tools we can use to get through these situations.  I am going to broaden it a little bit as well and just answer the general question of ways to get through a craving, whether after work, on a day off, or just any time we may have an urge to grab a drink when we don’t want to.

Some Tools We Discuss:

• H.A.L.T. (3:00)
• T.I.P.P. (4:30)
• Playing the Tape Forward (8:20)
• Urge Surfing (9:50)

This week's journal prompt (13:30) - Write down all the ideas you had while listening today that you want to try out.  Also, write down any tools you use now.  Which one’s work best, and why? Keep this list handy and add to it as you continue to work on yourself.
