I used to think time would fix things too S...but if that was the case noone would ever relapse again so long as they got up enough time, and sadly thats just not true.
I believe it's work not time that keeps us sober.
If I'm craving I know somethings not right with me and I need to work out what that is - I also need to find support to help me through when I feel vulnerable.
I haven't craved in a few years now - I put that down to the fact that I come here everyday and, I hope, my 'recovery muscles' are pretty well toned.
I'm
not cured tho - I believe I ever pick up a drink again, I'll invariably find myself back at square one.
If I ever do find myself craving again, I know where to come and what to do.
Just my thoughts
