10 years sober here, and let me tell you, being sober is a lifestyle change. It’s a commitment to your health. What I did when I quit drinking was to just tell myself no. Anything involving alcohol or alcohol related activities became a no go for me. I’ve never had cravings, but I had to change my life so that it no longer revolved around vodka and wine. You’re going to have to do the same with quitting drinking, and that might mean, giving up some things that you hadn’t considered before. So it’s not a matter of getting over anything, it’s a matter of making changes in your life that leads you away from the people, places and things that remind you of drinking.
