Why do people relapse after being sober for longer periods of time?

I’m 14 days in and I’m so terrified of relapsing. I know we keep fighting the cravings and eventually they aren’t so loud and then then disappear all together. I have read on here though that people will go months or even a year to years sober and then relapse. This has happened in my family but I never really understood why. What kinds of things would I need to prepare for realistically with how strong the addiction call is, even with time?
