Prepare for a relapse at any time though you are having good progress in your recovery. Relapses are part of recovery so if you are prepared before it happens you will be able to manage those situation more effectively. Keep in mind that a craving for alcohol wont last more than 30 minutes, so try to distract your mind for a while if you feel the cravings. Try to spend your money for anything you like other than alcohol instead of saving that money at least in the early days of recovery. Always compare your life before and after recovery. Make sure you are always happy try to go out and spend your time rather than staying at home which can trigger craving due to boredom. Watching movies are good if you are at home.
