You just have to remind yourself, "I don't drink anymore. Period." Then it doesn't matter how you feel in a few weeks. You've quit.
You have, haven't you? Quit drinking? Don't base it on how you will feel in a few weeks. Everyone here, I'm guessing, felt like drinking at some stage of their sobriety, but didn't. They were committed to their sobriety, not to how they "felt" at any particular moment.
