While it might feel like things are getting easier, your post shows that actually are. Even though you still crave alcohol and want to drink, you are now able to fight that urge and stay sober. That is a HUGE accomplishment and shows how your work is paying off. Also, the fact that your child is spending more time with you shows that you are already seeing some positive results from your sobriety.
It might be frustrating that the positives and progress doesn't occur over night, keep up the great work, and slowly but surely all the positives will continue to grow and grow!
