To answer your question up front:
0. This is a new normal, accept that and make a schedule that illustrates your acceptance of it.
1. Google 'bodyweight exercise'
2. Plenty of sleep reduces stress.
3. Cold showers give you an adrenaline hit that is quickly followed by a very good feeling.
4. Don't eat junk.
5. Meditate: Sit in a quiet room and observe the thoughts that are consistently popping into your head. AFTER meditation deal with those repeating thoughts.
Just some general life advice from an old man: Postpone that wedding right now. It doesn't mean you love each other less. Imagine the relief and joy will have getting married without the looming invisible fear of a global pandemic.
You'll get through this. We all will, stay positive.
Above all else: do whatever it takes to keep sober, you're doing great, KEEP THAT SHIT UP.

I'm mostly at a point where I can swat away any urge to drink just by getting up and moving around for a few minutes or fiddling with something like a deck of cards (I've found just shuffling/bridging a deck is really 'zen') or a puzzle to occupy my mind, but from like 15ish to 33/34 last year it was my primary comping mechanism as it was my father's and his father's so I'm largely in uncharted waters here with what healthy coping mechanisms are.
