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.

HA! I did the same thing. I would wake up and look at the counter on my phone and say. "Wow, <insert real name>, you made it one more day. Get through till midnight or you will have to reset that counter."
