I found that by completely overhauling my life it was easier for me this time. I currently live like a combination monk/navy seal and it is this extreme discipline which has helped me the most. My commitment to my health and vanity has managed to reinforce my commitment to not drink. When you wake up at 4:30 AM to do an hour of cardio, eat Paleo all day, go to gym for a second time during lunch hour to lift weights - it is way easier to not even think about throwing 1000-1500 baddest of the bad calories down your throat via booze. Granted I have only stopped drinking for 34 days at this point and was reasonably good about other health prior.
