the magic of urge surfing is that I get to find out how often “I want to get drunk” is not always what I’m actually feeling. so often, if I just wait it out for a bit, “I want to get drunk” is actually “I’m overwhelmed and I want to go outside to calm down” or “I’m tired and I need a break” or “I’m lonely and need to talk to a friend”. I don’t want to get drunk, my brain just got really good at telling me I do, and it’s gonna take a lot of time to prove myself otherwise
