Honestly, I find the first 1-2 weeks to be like this. A fight to get my head down on the pillow without having a drink. During this time having activities planned in the late afternoon/evening is paramount. After about 2 weeks the cravings get less frequent and more manageable. Then after a month or so I find them easy to brush off. This is just my experience, everybody is different of course. Unfortunately, I'm on day 4 of yet another attempt to quit so I'm in the throws of purely getting through the day without a drink. I know it will get easier with time. Try to stay focused and having a plan is really important. Good luck!
