Thank you so much for your replies/comments. It really is encouraging to know I have the backing of others who know how it feels.
I have planned to go out for a walk at 4 pm to get a book from the library so that I can concentrate on reading over the next few days (I love reading but haven't done it in a while because I've been watching TV instead with my vino). I also don't plan on cooking as that's when I usually crack open my first drink. So it's take away dinner. Not ideal I know.
I'm trying to think of things to do that I don't associate with alcohol, but realising that almost everything I do revolves around drinking. Going to have to re-train myself to enjoy things without it..
Thanks again
