It is weird, badge. I just had my first, I'm not even sure what to call it...it's not a craving. But today I felt a some physical (or maybe they're just mental) symptoms like I did when I was first going through withdraws. And I thought, a drink would make these go away.
I didn't want to drink, didn't seriously entertain the thought, actually recognized what I was doing, and talked out my feelings. I suppose while 5 months seems like a long time, it is still just the beginning. And the body will go through these changes for some time to come.
Badger, it was actually nice to read your comment. Made me feel not alone.
