Hi Glasschild, two weeks is awesome, some people don't make 2 days. It's even more impressive because you've been struggling. There's no doubt that if you can stay sober it gets easier, but it doesn't have to be such a struggle. There's lots of information on SR about handling cravings.
Do you have any support from professionals or groups like AA? This can make a huge difference to your outlook. I suggest a visit to your doctor would be a good start. Make sure you tell him/her the truth about how much you were drinking (harder than you think!) and how you're struggling now. It feels good to talk it over with someone.
Personally I've found SR to be huge support. I had a few days of sobriety behind me when I started and I'm sure it's kept me on track for 2 years.
