10 days is when the cravings were strong.
I was dealing w strong fog and anxiety at 10 days so it was motivational to not drink, since I thought I was going to die if I did. Thank God for that.
Totally agree w all the advice and support.
The craving bolts for me have been the strongest in restaurants. It is ingrained in the subconscious I am sure. No sure fire advice here.
I would look around and really notice that just a few people were drinking booze.
That helped me order water. Usually, 3 by the time the meal was done. Felt good to leave the place being hydrated instead of beer bloated and coming off a bill boosting mini buzz.
Back in the day, as soon as I knew we were going out the drinking would start. Then it would resume upon returning home. But, since I was already drunk for a few hours, it would take a lot more to keep the feeling growing. That led to massive quantities consumed and hellish hangovers.
Not fun...
