I’m on my second day of being sober. I’m having some pretty bad cravings though.

Abbie, I know that for me, Vivitrol really helps. I also changed the way I think by working the program in rehab.
For me, I do not let my past dictate my future. Please don't do recovery alone. Meetings for support. Do something that makes you happy. I see a cat in your profile pic. I'm sure he or she likes attention. I know that my new kitten, Cheddars does. Lol

One more thing: One day at a time. Just don't do it that day, just try to do something to not think about it. Because at the end of the day, when you lay your head down, you are going to be so proud of yourself that the next day will be all that much easier.
Something that I learned in rehab is that a grateful addict will not use, and it's true.

I hope your cravings go away soon Abbie. You could use them to realize that they're only caused by having first used, and that in time (hopefully soon) if they come they are just a reminder of a cycle we don't want to participate in any more, because we want to do much better things.

Temptation you’re a liar.
Fear, you’re a liar.
Don’t listen to it. The miracle will happen when you will find yourself without craving. It won’t happen suddenly but gradually and you are going to be impressed with you.

I was on Campral and that helped with cravings. If your under a doctors care you should be able to get a prescription. Don’t forget it takes time for alcohol to get out of your system also. Seek help from a doctor.

I wouldn't dwell on the disappointment. My suggestion is to realize that the drink isn't doing anything positive for you, and choose something without alcohol in it to drink next like orange juice.

stay strong !!! push through it and try to find something to keep you and your mind occupied!!! Do the opposite action of what your feeling. If your bored go for a walk get active maybe do some yoga. If your mad listen to some calming music
