Hi Corri,
Welcome to Soberrecovery. I am glad that you are here and reaching out for help. Although I am an alcoholic (in recovery for almost 2 years), I never had the craving for alcohol. Once I consumed any alcohol at all, I didn't stop until I either blacked-out or passed out. Every single time. I have been told that eating something sweet like ice cream or chocolate may reduce the physical craving. Some have suggested keeping busy so you don't dwell on not drinking. I'm sure many others will have more suggestions. Just remember that the cravings do pass eventually and don't take that first drink.
