My advice? Don't do it alone. Don't spend time alone unless you are comfortable. Go to as many meetings as you can get your hands on. Reach out to the people who will want to help you.
I tried on my own for 5 years and it did not work for me. One week in AA and I feel more relaxed than I have felt in years. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
Remember that drinking in the morning means you have a VERY serious problem. No discussion, no denial allowed, it's plain crazy.
