Hi Sobertime
I can't remember the last time I had a craving, so I guess they do go away.
They do last a little longer than 6 days though
I remember the first 60 days are the worst.
Think about it...if you're like me, you've been drinking for years - it's going to take a little longer than a week to retrain yourself and readjust - but you do.
It's not like we have to deal with that level of distress forever - I suspect very few people would still be here if that was the case.
I can't find the posts now but Carol has some great how to deal with cravings info...they don't last forever and you can get through them...I used to distract myself...walk, clean up, talk to someone, watch a funny movie, eat something....
whatever it takes...
Each time you negotiate them, it'll get a little easier next time STFM
