Question Newbie here

Hello, I have never done this before so bare with me because I don't know where to begin or what to do. I am 42 years old and I have been a drinker since High School. But I don't want to drink anymore, I hate it. I drink wine every night after work and on weekend nights. My mother passed away from drinking and I don't want to die too. This is my first night that I just decided not to have the wine.
I drink wine to self medicate my anxiety (not panic attacks). I started counseling a week ago to deal with the anxiety and also grief counseling. Any suggestions for a newbie?
