Never forget why you wanted help/ to stop. Have a good support network. Stay busy, but not too busy, with good sober hobbies.
First little bit of time will be rough but it will pass.
Remember: there is no problem that drinking wont make worse.

1 day adds up if you do it 1 at a time.

Just make sure you are ready to stop. Make sure you're not doing for anyone else. If so grab a sponsor and try the big book.
Congratulations on taking the first step , realizing you are powerless over alcohol

Iām on day 20 and believe me I did not think I would make it past day 1. I do everything possible to keep my mind busy. Meditation, hypnosis, meetings, journaling, listen to the audios on this app, read. YouTube has lots of bedtime stories you can listen to. I am also on Naltrexone which is also helping. Stay strong. There are many people on this app going through similar situations. We got your back!! 
I took moment by moment to get thru my 1st week...I changed people and places...checked in this app.prayed.i am deep cleaning my place.went outside more...I am on day 9 and glad I stuck with it...you can also
Day 1 is the most important. Read the acceptance prayer it has helped me alot.
Use multiple tools/resources. I've been cycling back and forth from drinking and sobriety for 12 years, always trying to just "be strong". Make your recovery part of your new beautiful journey. I found meetings I love, I get the Vivitrol shot every month, do morning gratitudes, tons of self care, get on here every day and interact, have a support system... right now you are the most important, be "selfish" in a good way... love and take care of yourself, you deserve the best! You've got this, it only gets better and better 
Don't do it alone
Get pissed at ur addiction it's a lot easier to say f....u . Alcohol when ur pissed at at and stay that way us all those emotions as fuel
Keep pushing the days get better
