Not at all!
Some things that have been valuable to me:
1.
Not treating urges as something wrong that has to be pushed away. The best thing to do is just confront them and treat them as a normal part of breaking a habit. Keep reminding yourself that going sober means having the urge, and that it doesn't represent an actual need or a failure on your part.
2. Having some stable thing you can turn your mind to. For me, it's a prayer, but for you it could be thinking of a loved one, thinking of some goal you want to obtain in sobriety, or even something absurd like repeating the word "banana."
3. Do healthy things that lift your mood. Exercise, in whatever way is healthy to you. Or get more committed to some hobby or pastime. It'll keep your mind more stable, even when you're not actively doing those things, and you'll have fewer urges.
