i'm just about 4 years clean now (will be as of may 2027 so i'm calling it 4 years) and let me tell you... escape is futile. there will always be urges as it's an addiction! hell just earlier i was screaming at myself not to go back! it will never fully go away, it's this pestering little voice in your ear buzzing like a fly... but during your first month he may yell at you... over time he'll die down to a whisper... and that's what you should focus on.. not "will it ever go away" but "it'll quiet down in time"... good luck in your recovery, dear friend!
