I drink to self-medicate- beer mostly- have gotten out of hand over the last three years. Can't remember the last time I took an entire week off drinking, so I'm trying to go one month without beer. Today is day 5, and
I will admit I am feeling more energetic but also a bit more anxious, but only about personal health things.

I used to have a glass of wine on my own, soon it turned in to two, and eventually a full bottle. I've been very feeling low and struggling to sleep recently so I've found myself drinking more. Tonight I had a bottle of wine on my own to help me feel better and realised this isn't ok. I drink it fast and don't feel I can stop. I feel good now, relaxed and hoping to god I'll sleep, but tomorrow I'll be anxious, groggy and low.
It's so hard but its all I have to help me cope right now. Just hoping someone can relate because it's a lonely and sad feeling.
