I know that's not possible for everyone, but really helped me in the first few months.
I agree with that, going to bed early helps me, too. I take a non-narcotic supplement of melatonin/GABA/valerian/chamomile before bed, get in bed early, and read for 45min - hour. If I'm appreciating feeling good in the morning for a change, I may as well make the best of it
I try to drink a lot of water, and make sure I'm not hungry. After all these years of drinking around dinnertime, I associate hunger and thirst with drinking; best to just avoid that altogether.
And, of course, I come read the forums, and try to participate a little bit here and there by adding a Thanks or an encouraging word. Good thread!
