I still get cravings at nearly 8 wks sober, but they're not as intense as they were at first. I'm finding the longer I'm sober, the fewer cravings I get. I actually argue with myself when I get a craving. I remind myself where I used to be and where I want to be, and I can't get there if I drink.

Stay strong and remember that the cravings will be fewer and less strong the longer you stay sober. Don't let alcohol fool you into thinking you can have just one or two drinks. Demon Alcohol is a lying conniving beast and not to be trusted. Also remind yourself that if you don't drink, you'll never have to go thru the hell of detox again.

Congratulations on your sober days! Keep adding to them one sober day at a time!
