I did it by making a decision to not drink anymore. I lurked here while drinking and multiple years later still lurk here To keep in touch several times a week. I just knew it was time for me to quit. It did take minute to minute mindfulness of why I wanted to ready for a drink. I remember Driving to the bottle shop and asking myself " why are you doing this?" and pulling over sorting it out and turning around to go back home. Then I would just delay the drink over and over again until bed time. The reward of a sober sleep and waking up feeling well rested was worth it. Meditation and reading a lot of Buddhist philosophy really helped me. SR helped a lot. There may be a sort of mystic thing going on as you read and identify with like minded folks here. That's what I think. Good luck. I know you read this all the time here but... it does get a lot easier with every day you put the alcohol behind you.
