Is there any advice for what to do when all you can think about is drinking. I’m at work now and normally the thoughts don’t start till later in the evening. But this morning it has been horrible. Any advice would be great

You can find plenty to read here in the forums. You could read the AA Big Book on the aa.org site.
The trick with drinking thoughts is to have an answer to them. Mine is, "Yeah, I hear you. I don't drink, no matter what."
The thoughts are going to come. If you continue to tell yourself you are not going to drink, they fade in time.
Look up Urge Surfing, Mindfulness, Thought Stopping. Lots of good info on the web.
