I'm not going to lie to you. My cravings were so intense, I would scream. Often I would walk more than 10 miles a day. I wouldn't take any money or form of payment so I couldn't act on impulse. My aim was to exhaust myself. This went on for about a month, after that I still walked everyday but not quite so intensely.
My cravings were still bad. I would post on here moaning and groaning about them. I ate far too many sweets. I did everything and anything but I
did not drink.
It is tough, you have to battle yourself which is pretty mind boggling but if you want it enough you can do it.
I'm 4 years sober now. I still have my moments but they are few and far between.
Keep posting, keep asking and keep sober
