Personally, I think you need to "trick" your body and mind into appreciating other things besides the ritual of alcohol and for this reason, it is important to establish new, healthy routines. Some, like eating at the same time, or exercising a certain amount each day, may seem arbitrary, but you have to hang your hat on something. to get you through until your brain can forget its old ways and find the new. I have drastically simplified my life in sobriety, focusing on my daily routine and have found that, after some time, there is great satisfaction to be found in things as simple as cooking a healthy meal for myself. Just something that helped me.
