I'm drinking more than I should

[NoSavingByTheBell]

Bro, for whatever its worth, it wouldnt hurt to try this: Don't try to make any deals with yourself like a dieter who says "Im not eating today, I gotta lose weight", because as the experts say, it'll only make it worse once you DO start eating again, i.e. you'll only gain back all the weight and even more. More like, maybe try arranging it so that after every 2 cans of beer, you promise yourself to drink half a pint of water for example. Then 2 more cans, then a half pint of water or juice. This may fill up your stomach faster (as well as re-hydrate you since alcohol is a diuretic and will seriously dehydrate you). Also, If after every 2 cans of beer you are drinking a pint of water, you are cutting 33% of your alcohol-drinking time out of your schedule, and ultimately you will drink 33% less. This is real progress, rather than just trying to cut it all out at once.

It is good that you acknowledge that you have an issue, that is a good start.

There are places that can support you go through this phase. Alcohol use, mental health and domestic violence is on the rise because of lock down. I will pm you some numbers for counselling and support.

Get out and get some fresh air, go for a run, exercise, socialise more to get out of this rut which is hard to get out of.
