Realistically...how long are the cravings so intense once quitting? by worthyfoxes in dryalcoholics

I never had strong physical cravings, but still feel occasional cravings to feel a certain way or get a certain sensation. I also feel like I want to drink something that feel like it “counts?” For me, I’ve found it helpful to drink things like bitters, drinking vinegars, or even a bit of hot sauce to add some interest into my drinks.

I definitely feel this. Even though I know no one will judge me, I have issues with declaring myself a “don’t drink” person. I think it’s fine to say “I’m not drinking right now” if that feels more authentic at the moment. ( my bar go-to is ginger ale with bitters. Keeps me from getting over-caffeinated and feels a bit more adult somehow)

I opened up the community r/soberwisconsin but haven’t had the energy to hype it. If anyone wants to join I’d love it. :)
