Hello FalseP ,
I put myself into lockdown for the first few weeks so i could build a solid and sober routine .
Eat well ,
Don't hang round bar's or pubs , keep away from the usual places and times you bought alcohol .
If you have booze in the house dump it down the sink or give it away now before the weekend starts ,
Wrap your pillow with a towel ( i sweated a lot when i gave up )

Maybe put some ice cream in the freezer as a surrogate reward .

Early sobriety aint a bunch of laughs but it gives you a solid base upon which to build a good solid sober life , as opposed to trying to make headway on the shifting sands of alcohol .

Read a lot about how other people manage sobriety and maybe see if they sound content , you can have that too , with time and commitment

I'm in
