Chilldice. I understand your concern. I'm 3 months sober, after 7 years of continual daily wine drinking. I too was concerned at the thought of spending the rest of my life craving. Reading SR I was relieved to read the craving lessens over time. I can now vouch for that. I personally spent the first few weeks craving. But thankfully the daily craving has subsided. I would never have believed that habit (coming in the door from working, opening that bottle of wine) would end. Only 3 months on, and yes, I do still get the cravings, but more sporadic and over less period of time. I know how important it is to hear that. It helped me refrain from picking up. So wanted to share that with you. I wish you all the best. My life in such little time, has changed for the best dramatically. I wish that for you too.
