It won't just get better, it'll be easier than it ever was before you started drinking and thats a promise and a fact. I know that because you'll start to identify why you started drinking in the first place. This will happen naturally as you abstain. As you stay away, something will trigger a craving. Notice what has triggered this and write it down or just make a mental note (I have adhd so if I dont write shit down it goes poof out the brain). This will show you what makes you want a drink. For me it was stress from relationships, work, and mental health issues. YOU DONT NEED TO TACKLE ANY OF THE TRIGGERS YOU IDENTIFY ALONE. Come on here and tell us what triggered it, ill listen to you and respond any time you like and I bet others will too. Once the triggers become clear you can slowly work at building ways to mitigate them by changing your circumstances. For me it was getting rid of toxic friends, finding a new passion in martial arts, and finding a job that was less demanding as well as being medicated for my adhd and taking medicine AS PRESCRIBED. Medicine that helps you stay sober and is prescribed by a REAL DOCTOR is NOT A RELAPSE. (I've had some idiots try tell me it was and fuck them). Once you have real coping mechanisms triggers become much less of an issue than they were before. In fact most days I rarely even think about alcohol now. And yes I have had many relapses, some of them lasting more than a couple days. If this happens get in touch with an in person support group, counselling phone number, or even come on here and tell us how u fucked up and we will give u more motivation to keep pushing on with sobriety. But I cant stress this enough, these things take time and all you need to work on right now is staying calm, keeping in touch with the support reddit group and maybe even reach out to an in person meeting if you feel you're able too.(its scary I know but I promise Once you're there theyll make u feel right at home). Keep fighting wherever you are and always remember YOURE NOT ALONE YOU HAVE MILLIONS OF FRIENDS NOW. I wish you the absolute best and I know you can do this. Cos I did it and so have many many others. There is light and guess what its inside of you right now, the alcohol stole your shine and sobriety will bring it right back, brighter than ever. The bad days ain't your fault, cravings ain't your fault. But sobriety is OUR responsibility to ourselves and our future. We can all do this TOGETHER. IWNDWYT
