Everyone copes in their own way. I won't try that route because I'm afraid it'll just remind me of drinking my beer of choice. I myself have been going with tea, coffee, and the occasional red bull because the tang offsets my really bad cravings. I'm only on day two since I relapsed really bad about four months ago, but I made it 42 days before that. Everyone has their own ways, but I got the redbull idea from someone else, and a friend of mine that has been 2 years sober told me to brew a pot of coffee and read a book when my cravings got bad. It helps because the coffee soothes me and the reading makes me forget after a bit.
