Made it yet through another day. It's been quite hard though. For the past two days I've really been wanting to drink. I spoke with an old friend of mine on the phone yesterday, who's been sober for 8 years. I asked her if she still craves it and she said, "Yes, sometimes. I don't crave the alcohol itself, just the escape." Two thoughts went through my head: 1) This is a great person to turn to when I feel like drinking and 2) What do you mean you still have cravings?!! Are you telling me this never gets easier?!! I'm struggling after 13 days and you're telling me that you still randomly crave it after 8 years? Where's the hope in that?!
But I keep puttin' along. I'm hoping today will be less of a struggle than the past two days.
