I don't know anyone who has gone through six months of feeling the way we feel the first week. Most people say, after only a few days, that the relief they feel from not being sick outweighs the moments of thinking of a drink by far. And I've hear many people say that they were totally relieved of the desire for alcohol, usually through a spiritual approach.
Just get through today and see what happens for you. It may be that right around the corner, even tomorrow!, you will begin becoming very happy with not drinking. The thought may come, but if you make a plan to get through it, it will pass and you will be filled with gratitude that you made it through. Then, the next time will be easier.
