It definitely doesn't work like that based on my experiences with alcoholics and addicts. I think that for the majority of people, addiction is a lifelong struggle.

Quote on alcohol.

"It is a very, very patient drug. It will always be there waiting for you to pick it up one more time." - Mercedes McCambridge (the voice of the devil in Exorcist)

I set 100 days as my initial goal. Got there and was feeling pretty good about it. Even went a bit public for the first time.

Day 101 was a massive struggle to avoid the f*cking dude sitting outside scratching at my door at night.

Stopped counting days after that.

Yeah I know but I meant the initial hump of quitting and withdrawal and getting yourself back on some kind of even keel.

I was assuming we're just trying to antagonize him into doing that.

He apparently logged in once since

not sure if he’s staying off because he’s embarrassed or got up on charges or in trouble at work or school or what
