Things that help me:
-Doing things that I enjoy... watching TV, watching movies, reading books, whatever it is, as long as it's not drinking.
-Reading books about addiction and recovery... some that have helped me in particular are Rational Recovery by Jack Trimpey, The Easy Way to Stop Drinking by Allen Carr, Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp, and the one I'm reading now Under the Influence is really good so far.
-Drinking nonalcoholic drinks... something special I wouldn't have had when I drank alcohol. I like making myself nonalcoholic cocktails, or trying different kinds of fancy sodas (my husband just bought me a bunch of bottles of black cherry soda that are in the fridge now).
-Letting myself eat what I want... for now. I found after a few days my junk food cravings evened out somewhat anyway. At least for the first few days, don't worry about what you are eating.
-This is my third time trying to quit, and each time I found I craved sugar in particular a lot... candy or soda is still better than drinking.
-Staying away from difficult "trigger" situations is helpful... and if I know I have to be in one then I make a plan to get through it.
-I write in my journal a lot... I was already a journal keeper, but it's especially helpful now.
-I find small ways to reward myself... candy, magazines... or maybe something bigger when you reach a milestone or overcome a big temptation.
I haven't been sober THAT long this time around (this is day 15)... but I made it almost 8 months before, and these things helped me then and they're helping me now.
Good Luck All
