Acheleus,
well done on quitting smoking. I quit over 8 years ago and can honestly say that after a while the cravings went completely and I never feel like smoking now. I really hope that my craving for alcohol follows a similar path.
Reading about people such as yourself who have achieved 20 months of sobriety gives me a real boost especially today when the AV was working overtime. Don't ever feel alone as we are all in this together on here. If you hadn't posted today I would not have read it. I was struggling but your post calmed me down and made me see sense. Another day alcohol free.
Thank you
