      List of stuff some acquaintances found useful:

      1. Dump everything you have, right now, while you’re in the moment, don’t think, just do it (unless you’ve gotten to the point of alcohol withdrawal)
      2. Go back through your bank statements/whatever and calculate how much money alcohol has cost you over the past month/half year/year
      3. Journal that shit, whenever you have a hard craving note the day/time/WHAT SPECIFICALLY caused that craving
      4. Write down in that same journal the adverse affects that drinking has on you, your friends, your family, etc. as they come to you
      5. Frame it as a personal challenge against yourself, and you’re toughening your psyche
      6. If you relapse, write down when, where, how, and HOW MUCH it cost you
      7. You get the urge, immediately start filling your stomach with water--enough to get the sense "no more room in there"
      8. Stay away from bars, don't go to parties, make a CONCERTED EFFORT to turn down offers of alcohol

      Good luck.
