3 days sober today. The most I have been in a very long time. Beer was always my favourite poison. My greatest challenge right now are those pesky cravings. They keep me up sometimes and I just wait for them to go away. I drank when I was happy, sad, stressed, or feeling any emotion. And i drank everyday. Any advice anyone can give on dealing with the cravings day by day?

My first question is do you have any kids?
I keep focus on my goal of being free from my addiction. Like you I drank beer everyday, so you are probably already enjoying not waking up with a headache or putting yourself at risk from DUI or open container violations. When I am tempted to drink I dismiss the thought, and constantly remind myself how horrible I feel hungover and list all the negatives of drinking and all the positives of being sober. It is empowering with everyday you beat the addiction. You got this, keep it up!
