It gets easier provided I place something in its place. My relationship with God, appreciation of life no matter what cards I'm holding. Some years were easy, some during life drama events were difficult to accept. I 100 percent took drinking off the table. I'm also very careful of any drugs taken in down to cough medicine (actual coughs before COVID-19).
Having been to 3rd world countries in the military gave me an appreciation of how good I have it. As least said, gratitude!
