I can't speak for cravings going away suekie, for I'm right with you at a week; however, I can say that I totally relate to your supermarket story. I just got back from the store, and right as you walk in, they have a big wine sale greeting you. I saw people picking out beer. I reached for the milk and they had brandy chilling next to egg nog. So frustrating. However, you made the right decision. Like someone told me a few nights ago, that is a victory for you. Yeah, the cravings suck, but the our reward is sobriety--way better than the hangover. I like to picture the craving as the beast in me trying to stay alive, wanting to be fed. If I avoid the craving, the beast will starve. I know that's a bit dramatic, but it helps me.
