Dorris,
AA is an organisation that, undoubtedly has helped many people. Unfortunately, by its own admission, it has never 'cured' anyone. It very unhelpfully suggests that you are in 'recovery', and that you must take 'one day at a time'. Well, how else can you live?
Once you have made a decision to stop drinking, you are a non-drinker. You are not 'recovering' apart from the seven to ten days that it might take to clear the alcohol from your system.
Your body does not crave alcohol. Alcohol is a poison that your body tries to rid itself of. Your mind craves the alcohol, and that is the issue.
Just follow your commitment not to drink alcohol, and enjoy the rest of your life. Do not count the sober days off - that's really sad.....If you have stopped the drink, then are you going to count all of your remaining days on this planet.
I wish you well, Dorris..... I really do....
