Well as the saying goes, God helps those.....sorry just trying to add some humor to a otherwise very serious situation.
Try this, right now ....get up from the computer and go take a walk for about 10 or 15. I don't care if it is still raining or notm get an umbrella. Go outside, look at nature. See life around you. Take a moment and appreciate what is what and our (humans) place in the world. Then talk yourself in the 3rd person. I want you to literally talk to yourself and giver yourself the adivce you know that yourself needs. You hold all the correct answers. Any help you get is just in reality helping you arive to them. So turn to yourself for advice first and foremost, cause no one knows what you are going through better than you do.
That is how I get in touch with "God". By looking at life around me and beyond the human being. The plants, the grass, the trees, the animals, the air, the wind, the sky.......let your emotional turmoil be taken by all that is God and very much all around you.
As you walk and look take some deep breaths and let the emoitonal turmoil I know you have be taken up by all that is around you. It is very good for grounding and centering yourself. Once you sort of "calm down" for lack of a better phrase, and that itch is not quite as bad then have the 3rd person conversation with yourself.
If you cannot go for a walk just sit on the floor, eyes closed, relax, no music, no tv, just breath in deeply through your nose, hold it for a few secs...then exhale slowly 4 or 5 times and listen to your breathing.
After a few times keep doing it then imagine the cravings and desires you want to be gone moving into the ground. Do this for about 10-15 min to start.
When you get up or come back from your walk, you may still want a drink but you will also know why you aren't going to have it. And you will feel good about it. :D
