It sounds like you are addressing self-care and want to continue doing so.

If you have determined that alcohol is off the table then you need to employ other ways to cope. It is as simple as that.

I don't always over drink but when I am depressed and anxious it is not good for me to drink at all as it actually causes me to feel depressed the next day.

Instead now I am into cooking, especially healthy vegan meals.

Whatever comes up you can't make an "allowance" to drink..because it weakens your resolve.

It will be uncomfortable if you are used to drinking for relief. But the conflict of wanting to do something and then failing at it causes more stress. Just keep drinking off the table. Good luck.
