I hope this question isn't out of line but....after so long sober do the urges and thoughts of drinking ever leave or is it a lifelong battle. I'm up for a battle but I'd prefer not to. I understand everyone is different I guess I just don't want to think about alcohol for the rest of my life. I'm already over it on day 9. I don't feel like a drink but I find myself constantly thinking about not drinking. If that makes any sense. Congratulations least.
I lost the desire to drink (and gained happiness) when I started practicing gratitude every day.
It gave me a positive attitude and lots of reasons to stay sober. Try it. Each day find at least one thing to be grateful for, no matter how small.
I start each day being grateful to have woken up sober and feeling good, and I end my day being grateful that I didn't drink. I am always grateful for the better life sobriety has given me.
