I sure hope you will continue your sobriety...and here is what worked for me...

In early sobriety....I timed my cravings.

They were 5-7 minutes in duration. Not too long too endure discomfort at their longest/strongest.
.
Soooo....I took action...prayed...Walked...rushed my teeth... Drank cold water...Hard candy
Danced around the room....took a buble bath....music....anything for a distraction...

Within 2 weeks...the lessened in both time and intensity.
By 2 or so months .... they vanished....
