Now i was always the kind of drunk that never ate before drinking. I wanted the booze to do its job and do its job good. So once my stomach was ready to handle solid food, I ate like a pig. Big meals was the ticket for me. And because i was an empty stomach drunk, i never even felt like a drink on a full stomach. And the vitamins i took helped give me a sense of doing something positive for my body after all of the abuse I put it through. In time the cravings will diminish. Once the physical craving is gone, then FIND A HOBBY!! Something that interests you. Try going to college. I did, and I will tell you, at 37 in college, it is a blast. I am loving it. Best of luck to you!!
