NNP, hang in there..it totally gets easier! The beginning weeks/months are tough, that's why so many of us have so many day 1s. It's tough, we give in, we start over, it's tough, we give in, we start over. Keep up the good work, don't stay in the cycle! You do get to a point where it gets easier, then it just gets better and better and eventually you barely even think about it. It comes up, but it's not as hard to ignore. I'm at about 4 years and this weekend I was at a really fun outdoor bar/restaurant and I thought, "oh man, this place would be FUN if I were still drinking", and that's as far as it went and I went on with my day. No craving, no struggle, just a touch of misguided nostalgia.
Stay on that new path, you will be so glad you did!!
