After 8 months, I still have thoughts of alcohol, but like least said, they don't knock my socks off like they used to. I dealt with them the easy way: by coming on here and reading like crazy until my rational mind returned.
Be patient with yourself and definitely treat yourself to good meals/snacks. I always have a glass of something (water, coffee, Diet Rite....) handy too.
It WILL get better.....
