I always make it 3-5 days and then I couldn't take it anymore and I would drink. I don't know your drinking pattern, but mine was such that the physical caving didn't leave until about a month. Then I had my head to deal with. An allergy of the body and an obsession of the mind. I had to give my body time. I found that recovery support had huge benifits in letting me share my cravings. We have all been there. Be as kind to yourself as you would be to a small child. As early in recovery we are but wee ones.
