Yeah, it is interesting Melindaflowers. We have been using alcohol for so long that it does take a while to re-train our brains to crave more healthy alternatives. I feel that I have made progress already in these last 9 days. Haven't had too many cravings for wine (which was the only alcoholic drink that I drank) but I had many more in the first few days than I do now. I think that is a good sign that it's all going in the right direction.
I treat myself with York peppermint patties after dinner now that I'm not drinking -- just love them! And lots of coffee -- decaff at night.
Have a great Tuesday - I've got a busy one in store!
