Two things that worked for me. (Not a doctor, not a psychologist, do your own research, etc etc.)

1) Dihydromyricetin - This is a supplement which helps your body digest alcohol that which can lead to less hangovers. For me specifically? It completely removed any craving I had for a drink within a week. Without hangovers the next day, I was left feeling just tired and crappy but without feeling horrible. This was a full game changer for me.

2) After you actually stop drinking, there's another hurdle of dealing with the social setting where everyone else is drinking and you are not. Unfortunately most non-alcoholic options out at a bar are pretty limited -- selzer w/ lime, cranberry juice, just a soda. However, at home, a ton of options for mocktails are popping up. For me, these fully fix any remaining craving to sit down and enjoy a beverage. Would recommend Seedlip or Three Spirit

Definitely don't hate yourself when you fail. There's a huge industry interested in getting you to drink alcohol and its the only drug you have to explain why you're not using. It has an odd hold on us.

Good luck!
