SoberD, congrats for not giving in
2 months is great!
I too found myself "cruising" in early sobriety, but would get bad cravings sometimes. Around my 1st months mark I think, I read Allen Carr's
"The Easy Way to Stop Drinking"
. It was truly amazing and can't recommend it enough. It has completely changed the way I view alcohol and drinking. I have about 4 years, and haven't had a single craving since I read that book (I've had to do lots of recovery work though). Please check it out if you haven't already, it's an easy, sometimes funny, eye-opening read that combines AVRT, CBT and NLP (use google if you're unfamiliar with those terms, lol) Good stuff!
ETA: I would think that Allen Carr's method is completely compatible with any recovery programme, AA SMART LifeRing etc
Hope this helps!
