The craving will pass. It feels like forever but if you actually time it, you may be surprised how quickly it passes. It's like pain in general; one of the best pieces of advice I know: pain is temporary but if you give up, the pain will keep going. You've already come too far to quit now. You can do this. Distract yourself. Rest. Post here. Read posts. Simplify your life down to one goal for now: Don't drink. As someone just advised me on another thread- just tell yourself over and over again: I don't drink anymore, No Matter What.
