Hi, as Dee says, a plan is a good idea. I know I will get cravings so I need a plan to deal with it. they are just thoughts and will pass though it doesn't seem like it at the time. Urge surfing is good, distraction, eating, keeping well hydrated, exercise, watch a movie, read, walk, anything to take your mind off it.

They are only thoughts and will pass- you don't have to act on them. fundamentally for me it comes down to how much I want to be sober more than I want a drink.
