Hope is a motivator, not a strategy. It’s early days yet, so treating your physical symptoms is a great idea. Hot bath or shower, maybe, and some pain relievers. Hot tea with lemon and honey is always good too.
Hang out here, read up on some old threads, and you will increase your chances of passing a sober night. I know you can do it.

Glad you’re here Kitty!
Cravings are a serious struggle, especially in the early days of sobriety. I was and still am a big fan of the DBT concept of Urge Surfing, which can be used for a lot of things like cravings, urges, and anxiety! The link below is a good place to read up on the tool!
There is a common phrase “One Day At A Time” which is a solid concept to rely on, whether you have two days or a thousand. Focus on staying sober today, or in your case tonight. Go to sleep sober and try not to trip about the future. Don’t hesitate to reach out here for more support!

Welcome 
Stay hydrated, sleep a lot, move a bit, eat, meditate, breath. Seek medical help when necessary.
Learn about addiction & recovery, take it one day at a time from minute to minute, put as much time & effort into sobriety as you did into drinking. Stay sober today. Tomorrow: repeat.
Stay off all triggers. All.
