Will the thoughts ever stop?

238 days sober from alcohol. Cali sober so some would call it cheating, but not worried about that judgement here. Do I just need to come to terms with the fact I'll never stop thinking about wanting to drink? It's not a constant thought just this little voice that pops up and tells me to drink. It's very easy to say no to and goes away after a short time unlike before I quit, but everyday without fail I think "I kinda want to drink" before quickly realizing I don't and moving on. My life is so much better without alcohol with visible results in just these few months. I have plenty of reasons to not drink, but I wish I wouldn't have to keep telling myself no. Sorry for the rant. Part of me starting to realize these thoughts might not go away so I plan on trying to replace them with IWNDWYT and coming here to vent more often.
