Glandon, I can relate 100% to your "intellectual" vs. "physical craving" !!
My physical cravings have been zero 99.9% of the time the past month or two (except when blood sugar was extremely low once or twice which a quick meal resolved immediately). The "intellectual" battle is easier on the surface because you can talk yourself out of it without physical withdrawals, but it is also something that can sneak up on us and convince us (using logic and/or seduction) that it is okay to have some drinks since we now are confident and have "proven we can do it". Danger danger danger!!!! All lies!
I am so grateful you shared this experience (I have had it too) !!
Day 109 here and so extremely thankful for that I do not want to start at day zero again with all the misery it brings (including the "physical" withdrawal phase).
Great job Glandon treat yourself to something very special you are doing amazingly well and posting about your vulnerability shows your determination to stay sober for life!
