It will come faster and more easily for you when you remove in your mind forever the possibility of drinking. Ever. Under any circumstances. Do you still pine for that old GF of yours? I doubt it, because you understand that won't ever be, and your life is better without her.
When I realized that alcohol was taking everything and leaving nothing, it became a simple choice. A rational one. Close the door, and open all the others now available to you. The sun is shining and the air is clean and fresh.
