      I'm currently going dry, but when I have alcohol again, I set some basic rules to help me keep it in moderation instead of every night.

      1. Drink 1-2 nights a week. Not on nights I have to wake up for work.
      2. 1 glass at a time. Don't kill the bottle of wine, don't have another beer, don't have two glasses of hard liquor when I clearly cannot handle it. Processing liquor at 38 is different than at 23.
      3. Establish a drop dead time for drinking. If the clock reads 7:30 PM or later, no alcohol. Fs up my sleep.
      4. Even though I have plenty of it in the house, I keep bringing home new bottles from Meijer or Aldi. No more. Use what I have, THEN get more.

      I notice when I followed these rules in the past, I felt better and I had it under control. And I also know right now, hardly anything is under my control, so I've been drinking to cope. Hence the need to go dry until the SIPs are lifted.
      Good on you for realizing something had to change, and good luck.

        And the last couple mornings, I've felt a bit tired, but it's not "lay in bed until 8 because you had two glasses of whiskey last night."

        And I will tell you this: Wednesday night, I had two glasses of Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey. It's good, yes. However, during my 9:30 PM class, I was out of it. I didn't take notes on an assessment I had to do, I wanted to go to bed, and I wanted to throw up. The instructor asked me to wait for her after class, but after a few minutes, I grew impatient and left the Zoom meeting. Right after I clicked "Leave Meeting," I started to cry. The alcohol had ramped up my anxiety to the point of tears, saying I can't do this, I'm a fraud and a failure, etc.

        Thursday morning, I was supposed to drive for Door Dash. Instead, I deleted my dash and laid in bed until 8 AM, then struggled to get moving. That's when I realized things had to change.

          I just know that my amygdala loves booze. The rest of my body does not and it eventually rebels.

            I also have people planning to reach out to me on occasion. Not to establish co-dependency, but to ask me how my day was. I also have some very light 15-30 minute yoga and Pilates workouts I can pop in to distract myself if need me.

              If you're doing other things, you are not drinking. That's key.
              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                  I know for ex-smokers, they buy something like licorice, or toothpicks, beef sticks, etc. Something to literally chew on, in place of a cigarette.

                        Yep. He's actually quite the golfer, all things considered.

                          Note to self: start drinking heavily, so I can quit drinking and then get better at golf.

                            That is a sound plan. Good thinking on your part!
