I am on day 86, waiting for the day were it might seem a bit easier. I have read many of the posts and have found inspiration. I am glad I found this place. Thanks.

Welcome Dan and congratulations on your days!
It depends how you think about things, but whilst cravings are painful and sobriety is by no means easy, it’s easier than the endless cycle of hangovers, anxiety and regret. Isn’t it?

Welcome to the forum.
I can’t exactly give you an exact moment it gets better. Sorry to disappoint.
I’m only on day 12 so far and the longest I’ve ever one must be around 4 months. That includes a three month stint in the local rehab centre.
So I wholeheartedly congratulate you first and foremost.
If you need somebody to just vent to feel free to send me a message.
Can’t really tell you much about this forum but maybe I can tell you what used to work for me.
Have a good night.

Welcome Dan! The day will come takes longer for some but it gets alot better. For me it was about the 6 month mark where I realized it wasn’t a daily battle anymore and some days I didn’t even think about it. Stay strong my friend

Welcome and congrats for your 86 days!! Keep going 
Welcome and congratulations on Day 86. Here’s to day 87 and more. As for waiting for the day when it’s easier, I think we all are. Recently I found myself craving a drink for no reason other than suddenly having an intrusive thought. Mind you, I’m on day 4274. I’ve never had as strong of an urge. Reading through messages here and doing an online meeting (no in person ones were available at the moment) put me in a better place. Communities like this help make it easier.
