Sonika, that internal timer for the 6pm drink took about 2 weeks to go away for me, the urge to think of a drink as a stress relief button took a couple of months and now I am at 11 months and don't even think of that drink anymore. It is such a relief and the people around me are not scared of triggering the drinking again so relationships are better all around.And the stress that is out there is still out there but easier to deal with because I am no fighting myself as well.
So you can let the habit fall away and you will be really glad when it does. Go well.
