Welcome to SR! At four months sober I'm finding my cravings to drink are getting less and less. And when they do hit, I have only to ask myself two questions: one, will drinking improve the situation; and two, do I want to wake up tomorrow full of regret and feeling sick as a dog?

Since I know from sad experience that drinking will NOT improve ANY situation it's now relatively easy to dismiss cravings as I know it's my alcoholic voice trying to lure me back to the hell of drinking. I used AA meetings earlier in my recovery, not so much now, but still have the 'tools' I learned from AA to help me stay sober.

I also see an addiction counselor once a week which helps a lot. I wish you the best in your quest to stay sober.
