Oh yes, the cravings can ge so tremendous that my mouth would water and I would fantasize about drinking, but I didn't. I took it one second at a time if that's what I had to do and that had nothing to do with AA. I've not been to AA for my help. Like I said I use lots of things for my sobriety, some of AA literature and things do help me. The physical and mental aspect of the cravings are what you're fighting, that's what is so difficult. That's the alcoholic voice people talk about.
