Cravings are getting easier

Do i still go into a full-blown emotional spiral when certain conflicts arise, and do those spirals still make me crave alcohol to the point where i cry and cry for it?

Yes, that's still a problem.

Do i still look longingly at the specialty cocktail menu every time i go to a hipster restaurant?

Yes, that's still a problem too, but not as much as it used to be.

As i head towards my 6 month mark, I'm still getting daily cravings...but they aren't as bad as they used to be. They used to be BAD.

Unless I'm already stressed out, i no longer feel my mouth water when someone mentions scotch. I rarely need to take a moment to collect myself when ppl talk about a night out at the bar.

With the exception of certain moods, I'm honestly noticing a general decrease in cravings.

Do i still have daily cravings? Yes. But i was promised that someday they wouldn't be as severe anymore... and at this time, they're not.

It's nice.
