As doggonecarl said: Take alcohol off the table. Tell yourself that alcohol is no longer an "option" for you. Create other, more healthy options. Tell yourself that you will enjoy what life you have left MORE if you don't 'consume alcohol and you will enjoy life LESS if you DO consume alcohol. Don't listen to all those stupid ads and messages out there that are pushing alcohol on us; it's everywhere we look. It's glamourized, it's FEATURED, it's OFFERED and served; it's AVAILABLE. Well, have you ever noticed that some of the best things in this world are NOT readily available, but might be more obscure, off the beaten path, more rare, but maybe more precious....so there is some effort required on our part....is it easy to abstain? For some it is. But, addiction is powerful, cunning, baffling....

So: Get alcohol out of your house. Cut your alcohol supply off somehow. Tell yourself you don't want to end up with a pickled brain and a sick liver. End stage alcoholism is brutal.
