I don't know about the forever part.
I do know that (especially in the summer) I still get thoughts of drinking. Having a daily reminder of where that would take me is super helpful.
The first time I quit drinking in my early thirties my life was a complete disaster on every front. I knew I needed to quit or everything was about to blow up.
This time my quit wasn't about any need or catastrophe other than it was stealing my soul and my desire to live. (Oh, only that.) I still remember how bad it was in my thirties, though. I'm glad I jumped off earlier this time. Once bitten, and all that.
