Bobby, as far as tools are concerned, one thing which helped me was the "one day at a time" approach.

By that I mean that if I got urges to drink I would say to myself "Tomorrow you can get drunk. But, not today, today you will be sober."

I repeated that the next day and the next day and the next day..., until the urges subsided (which they do).

That helped me and I hope that it will help you as well.
