Hi Scared.
This period is the worst for now and if you pick up the next time won’t be easier.
When I went through this period I tried to concentrate on thinking of non drinking thoughts each time the obsession jumped into my mind.
Many people don’t/won’t think of saying little simple prayers, it’s been proven to work in many cases, I’m not a religious person but it helped me.
Another suggestion that helped was to consume sugar like in candy bars and sugar drinks along with lots of water.
Many also find positive thinking helps also.
BE WELL
