As Hawkeye has already said above, that’s a great attitude. If you haven’t already done so, google urge surfing. It sounds like you have already developed your own method to practice it.
In any case, over the next few days, take note of when you feel the urge to drink, so that you can build detailed plans based on that. See what works and what doesn’t.
E.g., in early recovery, for me it was simply substituting sugar for alcohol. When I felt a craving for a drink at around 9 pm, some ice cream would fix that. After about 6 six months or so, the sugar cravings went away and my ice cream consumption plummeted!
