generally things get easier as time goes on.
first 7 days would be the hardest to control your desire to drink, i think.
so if you've gone 7 so far, i'm sure the next 7 will be even easier.
if you have been addicted to drinking, then it will take some time to re-adjust and a lot of thoughts and feeling are associated to the recovery process.
why do you think so much about drinking?
it's something that was probably in your routine for so long that now it's strange not to have it. learn what you can do with your free time ... besides cleaning
without hangovers and being drunk there's a lot more of it.
