Hi BITL Welcome.
You need to recognise that you have to plan ahead for when the AV gets strong. You can do anything but drink. Know that the craving will pass. And come back and pass again.
The more you don't drink but do something productive when a craving comes the easier it gets.
Take the option of drinking totally off the table. If you do that you don't have it as a choice. If you are still leaving the possibility of drinking on the table you are almost sure to fail.
