I think the further away from the drink the thirstier I get because I forget how bad it was. Life usually gets better as we live sober and responsibilities often grow making us think That we might have been drinking just to cope with a hard time In our life, and now that life is better, I can probably handle a beer or 2. Actually in meetins I heard more ppl talk about relapsing bc their lives got better than talking about relapsing bc life got worse. I always found that interesting.
