Boggle... Alcohol is everywhere and we are particularly attracted to it. So I guess we will always feel tempted. Those among us who had to quit with alcohol in the house and a partner drinking have the advantage (I want to believe) of getting trained against this kind of trigger.

I see many people here saying they cannot go here or there because of alcohol consumption and ti would be too much of a temptation. My house has been full of alcohol with people drinking since day 1. I don't feel any special temptation if alcohol is served and consumed elsewhere.

It gets much much easier though. I would not go back to feeling how I used to feel before quitting for anything. In my case, a major shift happened about 3 months and a half after I quit. I began to feel really better and to enjoy the benefits of sobriety. I am mostly happy and content now (18 months in) and the thought of drinking comes less frequently anw with less strength.

Congratulations on your 80 days
