CarolD always says a craving lasts on average 5-7 minutes (if I remember correctly).
I never timed mine, but they did pass.

Make sure you're not hungry - that one always got me.
Angry lonely and tired can send pretty good signals too.

Reach out here - keep busy - think about 'playing the tape through'...honestly think about where one drink would lead...sitting on the porch drinking might sound great, but that's not the reality is it?

Change your routine too - mix things up as much as you can.
And, if all else fails, sucking on a candy, or cleaning your teeth, does wonders.
