Cold turkey, but I ritualized putting a coin in a jar every night right before bed for a few years; (it symbolized the money I was saving by not getting drunk every night) I even did it when I was traveling, brought the coins home to put in the master jar.

I told myself that if I ever slipped, I'd have to dump out the jar and start over, and it worked. It's been at least 10 years, maybe 12 or 13....
