I've had times when it's been easy, and times when it's been a lot less so. And it's not been all one way. Overall, it's got easier as time has gone on. But on a day to day basis... no, it hasn't.
For me, the first time I got to about 28 days, I was feeling pretty good. Not thinking too much about drinking, and when I got the urge, I'd pick up the phone and talk to someone.
And then at about 35 days, it wasn't so easy. I can't give a good reason why, but it got harder. So much so that on about day 40 I found myself buying a bottle of vodka I never went in for. [I'd gone in for a carton of milk, and nearly managed to just get that.]
So yes... enjoy it being easy. But don't let it make you think that you can drink like ordinary folks... That's an easy way to slip.
