It does take time for the cravings to go away. Perhaps they lie hidden even when they have gone away. It took a couple of weeks for me to be steady, and now at nearly 8 weeks (sorry have to count to give you some idea of when!) I feel I dont want to drink
I know I need to be on guard though.
I would suggest you do what you need to do in the early days and keep thinking that way. For me, I would keep logged onto SR when I had a craving , or a depression, and just keep reading and posting. When I felt bad, I posted my feelings. It made a bad blog, but it made me feel better.
If thats AA or SR or whatever let it work. We are here to listen and reply
