Congratulations on 24 hours. Remember, you never have to drink again.
I can relate, I used to sleep with a beer next to my bed. Usualy a forty of malt liquor. I don't know if you've ever tasted warm malt liquor but it is repulsive. I drank it anyway. For days on end.

Take it one day at a time. Pour the booze out. Of course, I've poured out more booze than a normal drinker drinks in a year. Fourth day, feeling better, would go buy more, this went on ad infintum. Years.
I needed support and I've found it here. AA is a great idea, too.
Many of us have managed to put some sober time together here. You can do it too.

Best to you, and think that first drink through to the end. There is hope. I joined here like five and a half years ago, and have been sober two and a half. Took me awhile. Save yourself the misery because it only gets worse if you continue to drink.
There's a new life waiting for you and I hope you find it.
