I mean like me and my boyfriend got to drinking too much but we are both working on cutting down. THat said you speak of drinking too many 3.5 beers, me and my boyfriend are drinking like 5.0 and sometimes 6.0 beers and getting carried away with that, so like a few 3.5 beers does not sound like a problem. Seems your main problem is you need some kind of hobby or activity outside the pub. Idk You could try and go for a run, get into bike riding, work on a minature project whether it is something motorized, for a table top game or just fun display item. Idk just does seem like you should find some actvity you like and maybe do that instead of the pub all the time.
I now go to pub once a week instead of twice a week so that is a good start right?
I’ve been in a similar place where alcohol started messing up not just my health but my relationships too. I’d tell myself it wasn’t that bad because I wasn’t drinking daily, but the truth is the way I acted when I did drink was harming people around me. I used to lash out too without even remembering the next day, and that’s what really pushed me to question if I needed help.
Eventually, I spent time at Abbeycare, and that’s where things started to shift. It wasn’t just about stopping drinking—it was about understanding why I was drinking to begin with.
