I can resonate with a lot in this article, which i have linked at the bottom. As I have only drank once since new year. I mostly resonate with number 20 and 8. When i met up with friends at the start of this month and instantly regreted drinking.
20.) They find that a return to drinking alcohol is often immediately gratifying with one or two drinks, but that shortly after consuming even a small amount of alcohol they feel crappy, lethargic, spaced out, dizzy and off.
8.) They begin to see themselves for who they really are, no longer using alcohol as a mask behind which to hide. This can be both enlightening and startling as they are forced to accept both the good and the bad aspects of the self. They must then choose how to confront the emotional realities of their life. Something that is all but impossible with regular consumption of alcohol.
Its not easy, I actually at the moment avoid most places with alcohol or take my car so i have an excuse not to drink. However there is a beverage that i can drink which helps me connect socially which is a plant based herbal drink and this will be my secret weapon for the coming festival season!

Good on you, I was not much of a heavy drinker but i did use it to help with anxiety and to help perform when i DJd.
Everything has to be done in moderation, I'm not much of a drinker anymore. Never really was. I'll only have a drink if I go out and that's not often.

Likewise, but now i attempt to not drink when i do go out. However in early stages of doing that. I found a drink called three spirit which has similar effects to alcohol but gives you no hangover and makes you feel good. Its a plant based herbal alternative.
Normally I'll just drink a Long Island Ice Tea, most drinks are to sweet. Plus since I drive its not even worth it.
