I am just coming up to 2 years. I haven't had any cravings whatsoever for a really long time, well over a year and maybe 18 months, I guess.

However, I do experience quite a bit of "what's the point of this" and I have concluded that I spent most of the first year "not drinking" and most of the second year "rediscovering my emotions". However, I haven't laid down enough foundations for "living sober", whereby "living" would be the operative word of the two. So far, I have been concentrating too hard on the sobriety itself rather than the opportunities it brings with it.
