>>2654795discipline was key for me. the first two weeks were hell. i felt sick. then i had a drink again, then quit again for 2 weeks, then i realised that you don't quit or relapse or any of that bullshit, YOU TAPER OFF, LOGARITHMICALLY. have discipline as much as you can, if you are drinking more than once a week, that's too much and you should be resisting even that. but cut back fast, then allow yourself only a little and pretty soon you will be able to resist for longer and longer.
change of routine is also really significant; what the other anons said is also relevant and helpful.
