Welcome to SR Dean, when I got out of detox the best way I found to deal with the urge to drink was going to AA meetings, calling other AA's when the urges were really strong, staying busy doing things like others have mentioned.
For me what finally rid me of the obsession to drink was working the steps of AA with a sponsor.
Alcoholism is a tough beast to deal with, one that I know I could not have dealt with alone and most folks who overcome it do not do it alone, they reach out here at SR and in recovery programs like AA, SMART, WFS, and other recovery programs.
