Jeanrenee and Chelle,
Yes, it is a good plan to walk the dogs during the "witching hours" because the urges only last a few minutes. They seem like forever but they really do only last minutes.
I hope you can find your way around these boards easily and get some good information. RJ's method for moderation works for some, others cannot moderate but nonetheless her plan makes going AF much easier. Much.
Have you read the book? It is a good place to start. If you can't do that (you can download it), there is a link on the home page with recommended supplements. I used to pooh pooh at the idea of supplements but now I am a firm believer. Us drinkers have done some harm to our innards and the absorption of nutrients is somewhat diminished.
Also, some of the supps, such as Kudzu and L-Glutamine help (I repeat Help) with the cravings. In my case, Kudzu did nothing great for me but others swear by it.
Glad you are here and look forward to getting to know you.
