hey op goodluck on the quitting. i quit drinking on august 14 of this year and havent looked back. i had a problem not that i had to drink all day, but after work when i started i wouldnt stop drinking until i passed out or towards the end blacked out.
i dont know if you are a religious person or not, but i pray everyday to stay headstrong about not drinking. i havent had a craving and the smell of wine/beer/alcohol makes me feel sick. i've tried to quit cold turkey in the past and after about the 30 day mark i would crave a beer. i've made the decision this time that it is for good and somehow i havent had a single craving.
you need to keep your head mentally busy if you want to get through it. whatever you used to do or what you did will cause you to fall back into the same habbit again. we are after all creatures of habbit and like what feels familiar. change up your routine. if you dont have any pets, get a dog or a cat to have someone to spend time with. make sure you put your daughter as your number one priority. all of these things will help with the cravings that will eventually run into. lastly pray.
btw if you normally would go to the bar and hang out with the guys or friends, don't be afraid to say no to hang out once in awhile. once you relize you can go there and play pool, throw darts etc and not have a drink you will quickly realize you don't need alcohol to have a good time.
