Hey! Brit here.
Well I’m a month and 13 days sober. Not much cravings but I’ve had urges when stressed. Honestly even with my life falling apart the past few weeks I’m hanging on. With the grace of God. How’s everyone else?

Hey Brit,
Great job with your sobriety. I get a tiny urge at times too, and I’m in over two years. Nothing that would make me drink. I’m done with that.
It got a lot easier. You’ll get better at dealing with it.
Hang in there and enjoy all the benefits!

Day 79 today!
I also struggle sometimes…especially on vacations, when stressed, etc. Any advice for people like me who were used to unwinding with a couple drinks? I’m afraid I was more fun then. . . and I hate that.

Welcome, Brit!
I’m 45 days sober today so similar to you. However, I have been trying to make sobriety stick for 3 years. Finally managed to train my brain out of cravings for the most part but I do get urges especially around certain groups of friends and periods of stress.
Exercise, hot showers and sweet things all take the edge off as they all release dopamine in the brain like alcohol does.
I hope you stick around - this is a great community.
