Yes lifes good at making you forget how difficult it all was, and how much mess drinking caused you.
Try to remember some good things about not drinking , feeling good about yourself, how people react around sober you etc, then remember some of the awful times arguments behaviour lack of money . Place all of the good in one hand then all the bad in a bin (metaphorically ) and when you have a urge make a fist with your right hand and feel the warmth then think of all you've thrown in the bin.
It's a trick but everything counts.
John.
