For me I had to change my routine.
I used to sit on the sofa, glass, television, until I passed out in bed.
Every morning I would swear no drink today.
By 4 pm I was at the booze shop.
I got off the sofa, got busy, did anything and everything to avoid drinking.
I really wanted it.
I also took it one day at a time.
I said to myself on certain bad days 'if I feel like this tomorrow, then I can have a drink. Just not today'.
And I can hand on heart say, there was never anything that was bad enough to stop drinking.
I do think recognising your addictive voice is a good way of dealing with cravings.
There are lots of threads about it on here that you can read.
Recognising that the thoughts 'one will not hurt' or 'I can't have a problem as I have done a week without a drink' are not real and to ignore them and not act on them.
I wish you the best
