Try to live 'one day at a time'.This goes for not drinking 'just for today' but also try to keep your thoughts rooted firmly in today. Otherwise it's easy to start feeling overwhelmed and that's where demoralisation and thoughts of drinking start to crop up.

Like you say you know your choice to quit drinking is the right one so just keep everything firmly rooted in the one day at a time mantra. Should help you, it has really helped/helps me when my mind starts wandering and I start to get thoughts of WTF is all of this about. Remember that alcohol is "cunning, baffling and powerful" so don't give it power by projecting your thoughts outside of the present.
