Hi Gabriel,
Welcome to SR!!
I stopped drinking about 14 months ago at the age of 45. I tried a few times before that, but then decided I would give moderation a try, if that pops into your head, I can save you a few years and tell you it doesn't work, at least it never did for me.
There are many avenues to recovery. My biggest support is this website, I read and post daily. The two threads that have helped me the most are the 24 hour thread and the monthly class (someone else suggested joining February of 2017)
The first few weeks were the hardest for me, more emotionally than physically. I made sure to plan alternate activities for the times I would normally spend drinking. I went to the gym, hiking, took the kids to the park, or their activities, read lots of books both recovery, and for fun. Slowly it got easier.
It is very rare that thoughts of drinking pop into my head anymore, and when they do pop in playing the tape through and thinking about how I would feel the next morning if I did drink works.
Glad you are here!
