Thanks. I'm mostly at a point where I can swat away any urge to drink just by getting up and moving around for a few minutes or fiddling with something like a deck of cards (I've found just shuffling/bridging a deck is really 'zen') or a puzzle to occupy my mind, but from like 15ish to 33/34 last year it was my primary comping mechanism as it was my father's and his father's so I'm largely in uncharted waters here with what healthy coping mechanisms are.
