Yes, like many with more experience and wisdom than me have said on this site - it does get easier.
Even less than 3 months from my last bender, I feel as if I've shed the chains of that horror behind. There is much work to do, and life is still filled with challenges. But everything, every single thing, is better without the poison in control.
