It's part of 'not drinking' at first. The good news is the urges diminish in intensity and duration the longer you go without drinking. Urges may seem unbearable, but you CAN stand them. Try this: rate the urge to drink. Keep a log. Write it down, and give it a rating on a 1 - 10 scale. Note the time. Do that each day, each time you have an urge. Heck, give the urge a name, and argue with it if you like.
Check that log each day at the end of the day. How many were there, and how'd they fare on the Urge Scale?
It's hard to see progress day to day, but it is happening. Rewarding yourself a little when you don't act on an urge is helpful, too. Put some money in a jar, or buy a small package of fancy ice cream.
And remember my favorite quote from Abe Lincoln: 'This too shall pass.'
Take care,
