When I quit drinking it was the worst. There are a few things that helped me. If any of them help you at all, I will be glad.
ii. There are many consequences to drinking. If it helps, write them down as you notice them and make yourself a little contract. Whenever you want to buy booze, make yourself read your personal list of consequences.
C. Don't bring the devil home. It's a lot easier to say no when it's not right in front of you.
IV. There a book called "This naked mind" it's a fantastic read (or audiobook) when your trying to quit drinking. It does a great job of shining a light on the BS of excuses we give ourselves to drink.
lol. I love your list enumeration. ;) Good news is no drinking today!
