    1. When I have a thought I don’t want, i hum a little tune

    2. When I feel bad about something happening right now I remind myself that no feeling is forever, everything is temporary, there’s always a tomorrow

    3. When I feel bad about something that happened in the past I remind myself that happened to me, that I transcended it, and it doesn’t define me, but allowed me to make better choices in future

    4. I swapped alcohol and soda for seltzer

        I chose sobriety, the thought of touching alcohol gives me anxiety
