Gee I

wish you had asked her...However...

For me...cravings are a physical desire for something.

An urge is mentally desireing something.

I sure have no medical knowledge..just my thoughts.

The more scientific members will be along later I imagine.

Congratulations on your sober time!

Seems like something that isn't really worth getting hung-up on, unless you're getting urges to kill you doctor...
