find something that makes you forget booze. Something you love that involves being sober. Associate being sober with something good and the transition will be eaiser. There's harsh cold turkey alternatives too

Go hang out with some bums that have had their lives ruined through alcohol and drug addiction. Lost jobs, lost relationships, broken families, ruined health, etc. Get a really good look. Take it all in. You’re doing the same thing to yourself. Internalize it, and you’ll have motivation to quit. Next step is to find out what your triggers for wanting to drink are. Try to avoid them, or find a positive habit to replace drinking in those scenarios.

It's easy to remember good times with booze but you have to also remember the bad times. The puking, the hangovers that ruin your day, making a fool of yourself in public. Getting drunk by yourself multiple times a week will destroy your health and happiness. It's a depressant and if you can't control your drinking then cut it out completely, at least for a few weeks to reset your body and start feeling good again. I struggle with it as well

The problem is not your drinking. The problem is all those problems in your life that you think you can drown with a bottle. The drinking is a symptom.
