At first I constantly thought about drinking. Didn't do it, but thought about it a lot. It was around four to six months sober that the obsession went away. Right about the time I started practicing gratitude every day. Now I keep that attitude of gratitude with me all the time and rarely think of drinking.
When I pass the local store where I used to get my wine, my only thought is:
thank God I don't need to drink anymore.
