Whenever somebody says that getting sober is the most difficult thing they've ever done, those who have never had to go to rehab or anything like that will usually assume it's the craving. It's not. Once you've made it through the shakes, dealing with the craving is easy. The hard part is coming to terms with the degree to which you've run from being grounded and centered in reality in all of its harshness.

And that's not something that's exclusive to drug users, not by a long shot. For others it may be porn, or hustle culture, or social media or other forms of escapism like excessive consumption of fiction through books or films or shows or games. Pretty much everyone is running from the same thing, so listen to people who have gotten sober, because there's something to learn there.
