Hi BeerNut,
Welcome!
I'm glad you've made the decision to stop drinking and this is a great place to get support and information. Since you said you stopped drinking for 7 days recently, you might be alright, but it's always good to check with your dr first because detoxing from alcohol can be very dangerous.
The advice I would give you is to change your habits. That's what worked for me. I had to specifically plan to be doing something else during the times when I would have been drinking. I had to change my daily and weekly routines so as to not remind me of drinking. And, I avoided parties for a long time because I tried once, early on, to go to a party and I was so miserable.
I hope you keep posting.
