Crossed the 6 month milestone thank God, while having a resurgence of cravings and remembering the happy times when i was drinking. I keep telling myself this will pass but its been a few weeks now and I get these every day. I've come so far in a short time! I now have a CDL and a good driving job. Theres no way i maintain this job if i go back to drinking a pint of Vodka a day. Im on duty 14 hours a day. I'm grateful to be part of this community. I could use a little help right now

Hi Eric - I'm a big advocate of keeping busy. Can you volunteer, go for a walk or to the gym, call up a friend? You can also write down embarrassing things you did when you were drinking and remember the BAD times that made you seek sobriety. If you need more support than frids can offer, you can go to meetings or go to more meetings. Do anything but drink!! What you are going through is normal, so try different things an see what works.
