You are gonna have cravings.. The good news is that they will diminish in intensity and WILL disappear entirely. I used "this too will pass" as my mantra during the first few months of sobriety. Your body intensly continues to kick out the toxins during the first few months and that causes a chain reaction that signals to your brain to think about a drink. The syndrome is called P.A.W.S and it's a reality. Just keep busy and you'll be amazed how fast you'll forget about that bottle and pride yourself on avoiding, one more time, the huge disappointment of relapse.
