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
Thanks for this as I thought it was just me who had cravings that bad I guess I just give into them as it makes the irritation anxiety go away but we know where that leads...I heard it takes 20 mins for cravings to pass but mine seem to last forever and then when I drink they leave me alone for about a week then creep back around
