Smile York, you're right there!

...I have stopped going to the pub with my workmates at lunch...
...I really don't know what to do.

york, you've already made some adjustments! Good for you! Keep it up! Routine is a tough one to change. It will take some creative restructuring, on your part. Shop at a different stores. Take a different route home from work. Change your routine just to give you some breathing room. Walk at night. When I exercised I felt like a hypocrite because I knew I was going to drink later. Exercising helped me to see how foolish I was. Grab all those little things that may help you.

Not going for alcohol on that rainy day was amazing to read. I was never able to do that. I had my routine down pat. I would buy beer every day. I kept two days worth in the fridge. Again, good for you! You do have enough will-power to do it. All you need is support and this place wonderful people to see you through. Keep posting, keep reading (gather all the ammunition you can) for change comes in an instant and you're right there.
Prayers
