Hi, GreenEggsnHam.
Well, I'll try to recommend what worked for me.
1. Focus on 1 day at a time. Or one hour at a time. Don't scare yourself with thoughts "how am I going to survive birthday, New Year or whatever without booze". You'll cross that bridge later. Now your ultimate goal - stay away from first and "just one" drink;
2. No booze around you. It's a huge trigger in early sobriety when you have booze in the fridge and it takes just a sec to reach for it.
3. Make a plan what to do when boredom, anger, stress, etc hits you - go to the gym, call a friend, post here. Anything to distract you from thoughts.
4. Drink a lot of water.
5. Post here, share your thoughts, concerns - helped me a lot.
Well, I'm sure other members will give you a lot of useful advices also)
Best wishes to you, Hold on and give a try to sobriety - it's worth it.
