You are right that there is no magical solution. You will need to do the work and make the decision not to drink.

There are numerous ways to frame the solution to make it easier to work. Many people focus on the fact that they only need to not take one drink, the first one. Many people only focus on not drinking today and don't worry about tomorrow or forever. Several specific methods have been listed in previous comments. Many people find that having the support of and being accountable to others very helpful. Look around this site, find what appeals to you, and don't drink.
