I've been on a journey to quit alcohol for the last three months

One thing I noticed is that if I'm still awake after midnight my cravings get a lot stronger. Because of that I've been trying to go to bed earlier and stay busy in the mornings by going to the gym or playing tennis. Having a routine has definitely helped. I also ordered some non alcoholic margaritas from almave to help scratch the itch without drinking. They're a little pricey but I managed to get 10% off with checkmate after I found out about it last month so that made it a bit easier to justify. My original goal wasn't to quit completely. I planned to cut back to just 2-3 drinks, twice a month and I've been able to stick to that. But starting tomorrow I want to take the next step and stop drinking altogether. For anyone who's been through something similar, what helped you get over that final hurdle. Any tips for dealing with cravings or staying consistent would be really appreciated.
