Basically how it was for me when I quit drinking

The cravings were consistent the first month and with time became less and less consistent. But damn did they hit hard sometimes out of the blue.

4 years sober now and they're pretty much non-existent at this point. I think the last time I had a craving was like 4 months ago and they lasted for like 2 days.

Edit: Stick with it, it does get easier
