The "Pink Cloud" for me is off and on type of feeling. At 5 years sober, it's not present at every moment of the day as it was in early in recovery but it pops up every now and then, especially when I take the time to realize where I am and where I have come from. I don't think you have to worry about suddenly falling off one day. It is never that dramatic for me. As you continue to remain sober and pass through all your firsts, "First Birthday Sober, First whatever sober.......... the novelty begins to wear off. It's still there, but most of the time you will just be living your life as you gain more sobriety. Sobriety will be like normal thing after a while and it won't seem so magical anymore, even though when you think back to where you came from, it's still a special thing.
