Alcohol.... Feel like ive been overindulding in it for a few years.... but what else to do?
Be careful with it. It’s a slippery slope and one I’m too familiar with. Switch to weed if you can. May not be as accessible as alcohol depending on where you live but it will distract you just as well as alcohol and is much safer long term for you than alcohol. No hangovers and for most it’s not habit forming. Wish I could go back in time and change the past decisions I’ve made.
Check out !stopdrinking@lemmy.world
Similar to r/stopdrinking community. There’s people there that can help
This is one of the worst ways to deal with it. Alcohol causes depression which only makes situation worse.
Start drawing.
And a bit of walking.
