I think you're very smart to ask this, it shows that you're aware that the craving will pass if you let it.

For me the length of time they last varies, but funny enough, they never outlast my (program's) reaction to them. For my own personal program, sometimes that reaction is to call my sponsor or talk with my husband, sometimes it's to read the BB or other recovery material, it could just be I eat a little something, or I write, go on a walk, treat myself in some way...whatever it is in my program that I choose to do that day to ride out the craving always seems to outlast it. I hope this helps in some small way.
