I have been sober for roughly 4 years and 8 months and I would say that although alcoholism is the beast you cannot slay the "urge" to drink is just not there after a time, I no longer get the craving to drink when I first quit (or my prior failed attempts) Nowadays I just get the occasional fleeting thought of drinking which is really easy and painless to dismiss. It is best to stay vigilant which is why I am still on SR but I no longer require any willpower to not drink. I hope that helps.
