You will! It really helped me to do some other soothing thing when a craving hit. A glass of coke, a walk, a long shower. Slowly those things became my new 'go to's' in place of alcohol.
Also it helped me to relax about the cravings. I would remind myself that an alcoholic craving alcohol was totally normal. And it would pass as I built a life that had more to it than alcohol.
I got a lot from Rational Recovery (AVRT tool specifically).
I don't have any significant cravings anymore.
Congrats on 22 days!
