Hi Everyone...
I'm a recovered alcoholic and it's great to see y'all
LostButterfly...this may or may not be useful to you
as my expierence is only with alcohol
However.. from my personal files
In early sobriety....
I timed my cravings.
They were 5-7 minutes in duration.
Not too long too endure discomfort
.
Soooo....I took action.
Walked...rushed my teeth... Drank cold water...Hard candy
Within 2 weeks...the lessened in both time and intensity.
By 2 or so months .... they vanished.
Now...were they mental or physical?
Darn if I know. Nor do I care.
Welcome to the September Class of winners!
