blurses @blurses.bsky.social · 9h...the advice I see that helps for me is that indulging in non-boozy treats can help get past the worst waves of the cravings. Lots of folks swear by ice cream, but that doesn't really do it for me. I'll have all of the above as well as sweets and nuts (stash already secured) 110
