By believing that part of you that wants to stay stopped is strong enough to do it no matter how loudly the addiction is telling you that you aren't.
I have found that I have increased confidence in the part of me that desires sobriety by doing things that make it stronger. For me that includes:
1. Communicating with fellow alcohol addicts
2. Physical exercise (it's such a confidence booster!)
3. Cognitive Behavior Therapy
4. Positive thinking
5. Good nutrition
6. Positive activities, like learning new things
7. Giving back to society
That's my list. It took me months to develop it. Your list will likely vary, as it will be suited to your particular needs.
You CAN do this!
