Think Before You Drink: A Meditation to Conquer Cravings
Let's just take a deep breath in through our nose, out through our mouth. I might take one drink for a day or two, then I'll start drinking again every day, then I'll be drinking more every day and within a short period of time I'll be back drinking hours a day, just like I did before.
