I think you need to talk to a professional about the alcohol part. No shade, it’s just booze gets the better of you quickly and it would be easier to address now than when you’re 50 and need a liver transplant. I honestly suggest talking to your doctor about an antabuse medication, I take naltrexone for another reason and it does wonders for mood and anxiety.
I have and am. Right now it’s not terrible. At peak I was averaging a 750 ml bottle of vodka every four days. I think my cap with beer right now is like 5 a night. A hand over fist improvement.
I’ve tried a lot of different drugs for different things - anxiety, depression, etc and I’ve found I’m much happier when I just work hard. I’ve taken to exercising regularly and having a physical project twice a week and it takes my mind off it, makes me tired, and I look forward to going to bed.
Obviously we are all massively different as people and we all deal with all our own things but I am taking steps to rein it in. I just still drink more than I want to is all. More a complaint than anything terribly scary.
Thanks for your advice! Keep being kind. We need more kind people.
