I’d also ask a therapist and GP if they have ideas or resources. The more support the better.

Staying busy, exercising, stay out of a drinking scene might help etc Sometimes change in life style might be enough to quit on your own but if it becomes physical dependency and eventually people have to increase the amount and frequency, then it’s a different ball game and people need help.

To clarify I myself don’t have alcohol consumption issue but I know ton of people who do or did. It’s extremely common (and dangerous) way to cope with life as you already know. Ton of people can relate to your conundrum. Luckily other members will come through with ideas

Sending support and hugs
Thanks, divine.

I know this will slow down and will dissipate on its own. Thing is, I don't want to stop drinking right now. Not at all. I don't have any desire to get help for it. I just want to exist and to be myself in all my glory, lol.
