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.
Hi Violetflame,
I found my early days the very same, and even watching my favourite tv programmes didn't help too much either because I normally watched them with a can of beer in one hand and the remote control in the other.. I think it's much like a smoker giving up, the hands I think are not used to doing nothing.
Anyway on a plus note it is now April, sounds silly but I love to scratch off another month of not drinking now March is out of the way.
Well done violetflame doin great.
All the best
Stuart.
