You'll eventually forget about the booze, not consuming it becomes your normal. I'll be 3 years without coming up this August.
The thing that kept me going without is focusing on all of the negatives that come with the habit. Mine was especially bad.. drinking myself into oblivion black-out land 2 or 3 times a week. If you strolled through my comment history on Voat, you can actually see the transition from drunk posting to sober posting during that time period. Makes me cringe to look at it, strengthening my resolve to stay away. One of our admins have actually seen it first hand..
I applaud your caffeine abstinence. Now, I'm not that crazy, yet..
