Urge surf your way on out to a year and see how you feel. Personally, I was in hell when I got to 90 days, which was supposed to be some kind of milestone for proving that I could control my drinking, but I kept on going and boy was it ever worth it. This Halloween I'll be celebrating three years! In my experience, it really started to get much easier in the second year until it was basically a non issue. That's not to say I didn't feel better every day from the moment that I quit. The trick, if there is one, is to take the drinking option off the table. Climb the walls if need be but just don't let drinking be an option. You wouldn't be here if you didn't know what that leads to!
