It's interesting that you describe it in terms of physical cravings vs. mental cravings. I've been thinking about this distinction also.

I've found after a couple of weeks on Campral that the physical cravings are GONE. No sign of them whatsoever. It is wonderful not to have that feeling gnawing at me every day as I leave work, and the struggle over whether to stop and buy a bottle.

However, the mental cravings still pop up. As sick as it sounds, there's a part of me that misses the old routine. I guess that just goes to show that there is no "magic bullet" -- and that's where other aspects of the program come in. My brain chemistry is changing, but along with it, I have to change my thinking about alcohol. I have to change my mind.

Hang in there!
