Does it ever go away?

I have been sober for 274 days now. HEAVY alcoholic. The homeless, hopeless and very depressive kind.

I am going through something tough at the moment and all I want is to go for “a walk” and end up at the bar, but I will not. It’s not that I care about my sobriety, alcohol is my comfort and feels like a warm embrace but I have a family now. That’s what has changed since then. There’s a little one depending on my care, and I will be there for her. I just wish alcohol didn’t take up so much space in my head, you know?

Does it ever go away?
