Congratulations!: I admire your effort and hope you continue to do well. That feeling may go away, but it may return too. Or, it may fade and swell at times. The good news is that you've done the hardest part - it will never be stronger than you've been. That's a good reason to stay strong. There has not been a more successful program than the 12-step approach, so you might try to find a meeting that you like. Best.

Addiction: The feelings to use can certainly diminish, but most people need weekly support. If you have not already attend na or aa meetings and get a sponsor to help with cravings, others who have conquered cravings can be very hepful. Best wishes.
