Scripture
“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out.”
1 Corinthians 10:13
Facing right now
Breathe. You are in a safe place. Move through these three, slowly.

A prayer for this moment
Lord, I do not want this more than I want you. Be my way out right now. Steady my hands, quiet the craving, and hold me through the next hour.
One thing you can do right now
Text or call one person on your sober support list before you do anything else. If no one is available, walk outside for ten minutes without your wallet.
Or name something else
“He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.” — 1 Corinthians 10:13
