Bien. Lo escribiste en vez de hacerlo. Eso no es poca cosa — esa es toda la batalla, sucediendo ahora mismo, y todavía estás en ella.

El antojo se siente permanente. No lo es. La mayoría de los antojos llegan a su punto máximo y pasan en veinte a treinta minutos si no los alimentas. Eso es la duración de un episodio de TV. Es una caminata alrededor de la cuadra, dos veces. No tienes que vencer esta noche. Tienes que vencer la próxima media hora, y luego la siguiente.

La voz que te dice "solo una" no eres tú. Es la enfermedad, y tiene un solo guion. Ya lo has escuchado antes. Sabes cómo termina la historia. No tienes que leerla otra vez.

Tres cosas que hacer en la próxima hora

  1. 1
    Cambia de cuarto
    Levántate. Ve a otro lugar — afuera si puedes. Los antojos viven en el lugar y la posición en la que estás. Mueve tu cuerpo y mueves el antojo.
  2. 2
    Dile a alguien, ahora mismo
    Padrino, amigo, pastor, o el compañero en esta app. Di las palabras exactas: "Quiero beber esta noche." Un antojo dicho en voz alta pierde casi la mitad de su peso.
  3. 3
    Come, bebe agua, retrasa
    El hambre y la sed se disfrazan de antojo. Come algo dulce, bebe un vaso de agua, y pon un temporizador de 30 minutos. No te prometas nada más que llegar al temporizador.

Una oración para ahora mismo

Dios, quiero beber.

No voy a fingir contigo que no quiero. Ya lo sabes.

Llévame por los próximos treinta minutos. No mañana, no el resto de mi vida — treinta minutos.

Pon a alguien en mi camino. Pon algo en mis manos que no sea un vaso.

Y cuando esto pase — porque tú dices que va a pasar — ayúdame a recordar que pasó.

Amén.

"No os ha sobrevenido ninguna tentación que no sea humana; pero fiel es Dios, que no os dejará ser tentados más de lo que podéis resistir." — 1 Corintios 10:13
