Its great that you wrote out a list.

Keep it with you and read it every day.

I did the same sort of thing - I wrote two lists titled reasons to drink and reasons not to drink. I surprised the heck out of myself with how many reasons not to drink I found, and I kept adding to the list over a few weeks whenever I thought of something new. I also was surprised by how few reasons I could find to keep drinking.

Keeping those reasons uppermost in my mind really helped me in the first few weeks and months. Hopefully it will help you a lot also.

I used to travel constantly for work also. That is challenging. Maybe write a list of things to do after work other than drink as well.
