Very good advice posted before me. I like what least said about the two things he asks himself. For me, early sobriety (which technically I"m still in) has been tough. I am 49 days sober and my cravings are far less than they were. I did have some withdrawl early on (I didn't know it at the time, but looking back I no it was). During my first two weeks I did nothing but focus on staying sober. I was in bed a lot. I went to a lot of meetings (still do 5 to 6 per week), read a lot, participated in this site, and just didn't drink.
I will say that my cravings are much more spread out now but it takes work. If I let up on my recovery even for a day, I pay for it. Recovery is my medicine for my obsession to drink. The harder I try and be in recovery the less I crave alcohol.
Hang in there. Just a day at a time. You can do it!!!!!
