Good Choice,
When I first sobered up, I had to find replacement behaviors-actions, to replace my favorite coping mechanism, when we put the drink down, life still happens, through reading the Big Book and working the steps with a sponsor, we learn how to accept people, places, and things the way they are, not how we would like them to be. I can really identify with having to fight that urge to drink, I went almost a year struggling, when I finnally gave my life and will over to a higher power as I understood, the obsession of the mind was lifted quickly, I can tell you when I had my 1st drink and when I had my last, however I can't tell you exactly when my urge to drink was removed, I believe this is because I had very little to do with it other than make a decision, god did the rest, as he can and will do for you. Peace will come.
