MY CRAVING IS MORE MENTAL THAN PHYSICAL. I have proven this because even if i take anticraving supplements like L-Glutamine and Gabapentin to help control my cravings. They do not work when I really want a drink.
Cravings are 100% physical, once you take a drink, you crave physically more and more booze. Otherwise its just a thought. This must be a rehab thing with everyone thinking cravings happen without taking a drink.
