I'm not even at six months yet, but what I did is 1. Decide never to drink again, no matter what. That was the big one.
2. Early on when raw and disorganized went to some AA meetings so people could give me some emotional support.
3. Made sure I kept an intense, regular work out program
4. Shook off the drama. Feeling anxious? Well sassy, that's par for the course. Craving alcohol? Yep, expected. Sad and depressed? Of course you are, you just ditched your major crutch. Gain a few pounds? Well duh, your sugar intake went up. Feeling guilty about the past? Sure you are, you're an alcoholic.
Everything That came up was NOT an emergency, a huge drama, or the end of the world. I constantly talked myself down and told myself I'd be fine as long as I stayed sober.
Eventually, I was fine. And I still am.
Good luck.
