Does it get any easier
I guess it depends. I had to find the roots of why I always wanted to numb myself with alcohol. Before I finally gave in a started working a program of recovery (I do both Refuge and AA) I would get a few months of abstinence and be completely miserable. Then I would drink again. For me, and many others, working a program (there are more options than AA/NA), being part of a group of people with a shared identity of suffering from addiction/alcoholism, and then doing therapy helped. I saw my outlook on life change. I had to realize though that yes, when I am not obsessed with numbing myself life did get easier in a sense, but after that life really didn’t change, I just got stronger.
