@bradleysrealwife Of course it's normal. Your brain and your body can't change so quickly. Sometimes it takes years. Every impulse and reflex was tied to alcohol, substances, now they need to be retrained, and this is difficult work. So it's okay, the main thing is not to break down and understand that you've already done a lot. And you're great

@Voodvins

Thanks honestly, needed to hear that, it was just like i knew one guy who had like no cravings after 90 days so I thought there was something wrong with me. I work through them though (really just means watch a movie or show and wait it out),
