In my case, I found that I had to put at least, _if not more_ time, effort, and expense into actively NOT drinking. I had to find something to fill that time, be it fishing, gardening, golf, guitar, a beat up old car, or whatever. When I first stopped, I was going to 2 or 3 meetings a day, just because I didn't know wtf else to do.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. I found that to be the most difficult thing. I've lived my whole life with no help from anyone else. Going it alone is tough. There's a "Big Book" that can go along way of helping too, along with a huge community of people willing to help.
If you're serious, you can do it. You just have to do the work.
Best of luck, don't ever be afraid to ask for advice.
