If you're in crisis or thinking about harming yourself: call or text 988 (US) or 1-833-456-4566 (Canada). If you drink heavily every day, talk to a doctor before stopping abruptly — withdrawal can be medically serious.

Why 30 minutes?

Cravings can feel permanent while they are happening. Many people find it useful to treat them like waves: notice the rise, change what your body is doing, and give the urge time to move without turning it into a debate.

This page borrows from urge surfing: instead of fighting the wave or obeying it, you observe what is happening and take one grounded action at a time. It is a practical support tool, not medical advice or treatment.
