I stopped drinking end of April (when i joined SR) stayed sober for about two weeks and then "relapsed" and had a bottle of wine.
Then I would instantly stay sober again another week and then yet again a bottle of wine repeat repeat repeat
In fact what I have been doing is prolonging unnecessaritly that awful first week of sobriety-because i've been doing my "first week" repeatedly since then
So for me the "binges" weren't long at all but my withdrawals each time have been hard.
And I think rad was right each "withdrawal" has got harder.
It's as if the drink takes tighter grip each time to make me come back to it
I've now just about got past a real week since my last drink (so am due my habitual relapse)
I'm sick of being in that first week of withdarwal -constantly
So to answer the original question for me the binges haven't got longer but the withdrawal symptoms have got tougher;
