New to Site but not soberity

I have been sober now for a little over three and half years, but not one day goes by when I haven't a least thought about taking a drink. The thirst I crave is relentless against my will to live without alcohol, but it's not out of shear willpower that I survive. It's the likes of all of you, the recovering, that I need to continue that journey with, and I hope it's with all of you that I can share my struggles and strengths against this demon that I wish to conquer and overcome.

Welcome to SR, noproblem, and congrats on over three years! That's amazing. . I certainly understand your thoughts of drinking. For me, it's not so much a craving for alcohol itself, but more a desire to have a drink. Those dangerous thoughts that I can be a normal drinker. To just have one or two. And it's so interesting the number of times I've tried and failed, yet those thoughts still linger.

Welcome noproblem

3 years plus is awesome - I'm sorry you're still being hassled by that obsession tho.

What other changes have you made to your life besides just not drinking?
