Yes - it's hard. Very hard. I bounced and bounced for twenty years before I got sober, and I just got twenty years last months. You can do it - you are stronger than you think!
I salute you. I have not had a drink for over nearly 5 years. I had a really tough time over the past week, and last night I stood in the booze aisle of Tesco's for about 10 minutes. Lager on one side, cider on the other. I don't think I ever wanted a drink as much as I did in that moment, but I resisted and walked away. Just a small, but significant victory. I lost both my parents in the past 5 years and feel that if I start drinking again I may not be able to stop.
