I know how hard it is when you want to drink and just get oblivion. But it won't make anything better. Odds are you'll only feel worse afterwards. You can make it through the urge, you're stronger than it.

Don't know what time it is where you're at, but can you get out of the house, go for a walk, but don't take any money with you so you can't go to a bar. Sometimes when I was needing a drink real bad doing somehting physical helped.

Or do you have a support line or friend you can call. Again, I don't know what time it is where you're at but try calling AA. Most area's have a number you can call, and there'll be someone to talk to about wanting to drink. I've done that a couple of times, especially in early sobriety.

Just don't take that first drink.
