Do you have any friends who know that you are quitting drinking and seem sympathetic? I used to call such friends and stay on the phone with them for awhile--often making plans to meet in the morning, so I would have a reason not to use. Talking to them about anything--gossip, politics, even the problem I was having with recovery--seemed to help. Because they were not alcoholics/addicts themselves, the friends I called were easily able to avoid being judgmental.
I know some will say this is bad recovery, but I think you have to do whatever you can--especially at the start. I could not do it alone or with prayer -- so I asked the people who cared the most about me to help.
