HI i'm new! finally admitted to my family (and myself) that I'm an alcoholic after battling it alone for so long. just need someone to talk to who actually knows what im going through just now and if anyone's got any tips on how to beat the cravings it would be great to hear from you!!

the best thing to do to deal with the cravings is to call your local AA chapter (the number is in the phone book), get the schedule and locations of local meetings, go to a meeting today or tonite, after the meeting starts tell them your first name and that you have a desire to stop drinking.
after that, don't drink one day at a time and go you your meetings -- once a day if necessary at the beginning. twice a day if you need to.
there is no charge for the meetings.
thanks for posting and i wish you the best in your sobriety.
sounds like you know your stuff! i will definately join cause i really do need to get sober- its good to know im not on my own. have you been to AA if so what can i expect? Thanks for the advice.
Try taking Glutamine. It is an amino acid. I took it about 3 times a day at first. It really helped with cravings. You can get it at any vitamin store like GNC.
Best wishes :)
