Each time you don't give in to the craving you really do get stronger. I thought that Friday nights were going to kill me the cravings were so strong. It was worth it to hang on through the struggles. Now Friday is a time to rest and have fun. A craving may hit once in awhile but it isn't as long or as strong. It's nice to have sun and warmth be just that now....it's not a drink or a reason to drink any more. Hang strong!
