For me a big mental shift took place around 6-9 months (Im ata year and 3 mos. now). I had been practicing the things that are now second nature: a lot of excersisze, therapy, SMART mettings, finding the right meds, meditating in the AM. It was frustrating, but it's all paid off to be a new normal, that alcohol has no part. Now, a drink turns my stomach when I play it out in my head. Instead of alcohol, bettering my life is my focus, and it feels way better. It took time and patience. Keep going, and good for you on 8 weeks!
