Reflections after 33 days

I have seen several questions about whether it gets easier as time goes on. My take would be yes and no. Once you are out of the routine, it certainly does in some ways - most days I get through largely without issue and often without even considering the possibility of relapsing. But then I feel off guard and less prepared for the triggers when they do come - they remain very strong at particular points and when I take the progress for granted I let my guard down, making me feel quite vulnerable. Vigilance is the key. Though ultimately i guess the goal has to be changing lifestyle to the point where relapse does not even occur as a possibility? Not there yet
