Hi Algernon, welcome to SR. How about sticking around here, reading and posting, until that craving passes?
I know how that committee works, it ruled my life for 27 years. Now there's another side of my thinking that tells me a few simple things:
1. A drink never improved any situation.
2. My worst day sober is way better than my best day drunk.
3. Nobody ever died from not taking another drink.
Please keep reaching out for help and support. Have you thought about trying an AA meeting?
