Hard to answer that question directly…
Try and get your mind busy with something…is there someone you can talk to, maybe watch a movie or something?

Gonna do some homework after work. Just can’t believe how much alcohol has controlled me for so long!

It takes time and although they never really go away i can promise you they get easier to deal with.
After a while you’ll notice they become just another annoying nuance of life like all the rest…
Have patience, keep the Faith…stay strong…stay sober!

I get the thoughts wow the feeling i got using/drinking but within seconds it will be “Shit remember how you felt and what the pain was like”. I regularly change my thoughts from fantasising to catastrophising mainly because i attend SMART and cbt seems to make simple sense. Thoughts won’t hurt you. Using/drinking will!!!
