You can ask anything at all, Conk!
What I did at the beginning was literally spend as much time as possible on this site...really helped me feel 'active' in not drinking. Also, I went to the bulk candy store and got bags of every type of candy that I could possibly crave. Then, I'd use that as a treat to look forward to at night, instead of the usual wine that I would've normally had. I also got into specialty coffees...anything different to look forward to and reward myself with.
Mixing up your routine is good, too. If you normally drink in the evenings, don't be at home during that time. Make plans to go for a walk, or do some shopping, or ANYTHING, really instead of drinking.
