I'm only on day 9 here, just taking it one day at a time, not thinking ahead, just get through today and things will improve over time is the advice I have been given and I believe it to be true.
Having alternative activities is really important, if you find yourself idle you'll be thinking about drinking, keeping active and doing different activities may help.
I wish you the best!
