Congrats on your new job and new sobriety. Having cravings early on is totally normal. I had them bad for quite some time, but eventually they faded. I work in polyurethane myself actually as a research and development lab technician. It’s pretty cool. Good luck and do what you can to maintain a daily program that works for you

OOH - congrats on the new job! Hope your first day went smoothly. Congrats on your sober time!
Sorry you are having cravings. Distractions do help. I have also found that staying connected here and reading around the threads is also a great help to mute those cravings.
Keep coming back! ODAAT
