Yea, I haven't had cravings for a couple of months but this spring weather with the sun coming out and the weather getting warmer has set off my AV too. I traditionally welcomed spring with a bottle of rosé while sitting out on the patio, but the craving is for about any kind of alcohol that would give me a warm buzz. My AV romanticizes the first hour or two, so what is helping me is to "play the tape forward" to how it will go later that evening, during the night and for sure the next morning when I've got to get up to go to work. The scenario never works out well, and in an hour or two I'm always so glad I didn't give in. Hang in there.
