Some things I've done is try thinking of activities that I can do that do not involve drinking, for instance, a good 20 to 30 minute walk can kill of a craving and buy you some time. There's also the HALT method, I'll look for the link but I'm sure someone will post it for you immediately. The third would be to tell yourself everyday, although it sounds corny, that you love yourself and you are going to take good care of yourself. If you're like me, you've probably never felt that you loved yourself or showed that you care about yourself. Try that, it has worked for me. Also remember that although there's lots of good advice on here, you may still need to change a few things to make it work for you personally, as each of us are different and have had things that work for us that may not have worked for another. Biggest thing, don't beat yourself up and don't give up even if you make a mistake! That's what trying again is for.
