This really hits home for me. This is my second time getting sober, the first one I went two months then fell off for a few terrible weeks, not back on for three weeks. I keep making past the hard part then falling off when it's supposed to get easier. If I drank again, I would definitely want to quit again, and I don't want to go through the hard part again. It's much easier to suffer through the cravings now. Thank you!
