I would take it day by day. I love beer and decided to do dry January. Similar to you, I like to have a little alcohol after work to relax. If you have to, try non-alcoholic beers or virgin cocktails. Try and set a goal of a month if you can. Doing things to take your mind off of it helps too like hitting the gym or some other hobby.

I’ve been able to do dry January by getting up at 5am each day to work out before work. My tip is to write down your 30 day schedule and DECIDE UP FRONT. When I wake up and don’t want to do it, or am at a party and want a drink, I say to myself “I almost forgot I already decided I can’t drink this month. The decision has already been made.” Hope this helps a little and good luck!

Same program. Cannabis helps me and I feel much better overall. That said will prob mix some beers in here in the next week.
