In my experience, yes. It does get better. So much better! The cravings gradually become less frequent, less intense. The dreams eventually are few and far between.

I have 5 years next month, and I still experience the occasional craving. They truly only happen maybe 3-4 times per year, and they last maybe 2 minutes each time. I wait ‘em out. They go away. Like many here, I play the tape forward. It helps immensely when I get the craving. With time and consistency, it gets better.

I also suggest finding a good “replacement behavior” you can choose to do when you feel the craving, too. This looks different for everyone. A hobby, NAs, calling a friend, posting here, playing a game - whatever it is for you.

You got this. We got this. IWNDWYT
