But I’m having a hard time recently with all my stress. I’m frustrated with myself. Plus, my therapist is quitting. I just made a good connection with her and now she’s leaving. And my daughter is suffering from severe depression and anxiety. I’m so stressed out. I’m not handling all this well

a little bit of depression and anxity is normal.
anxiety for my daughter over her brother with Down syndrome has never been treated. she grew out of it.

How much do you drink? There’s drinking a little bit every now and then. And then there’s drinking too much.
If you are drinking too much in order to cope with your problems, just be aware that the drinking is a whole problem by itself; it just adds to your problems.
If you can’t control your drinking, that is one of the first signs of being an alcoholic. I don’t mean to be rude or insensitive but it is the truth.

How is that hate? You’re way off base.

Try putting it off, like tell yourself you’ll get a drink later, then again in a few days, then keep doing that until you eventually never get around to it
That’s how I quit.

fine. my aunt Karol, a wonderful person had a card on her fridge, I want to be a non-smoker, but not hate other smokers once I quit.
you mean the bawling meetings of AA? forget it.
I don’t hate other addicts or alcoholics. I sat through more than a 1000 AA, CA and NA meetings with thousands of other people with drug and alcohol problems, with varying amounts of clean time. I try to help and offer advice to people who are trying to quit because it was so freely offered to me when I first tried to quit. If that’s hate than you have a warped view of what hate is. If someone asks for help then I’ll use my knowledge and experience to try to help. I’m not hating on anybody.

I drank a river in my day.
I barely get drunk anymore. I get an Abilify injection every 3 weeks, and even if I have 4 to 5 light beers I start getting very tired and feel nauseous.
If you feel you are overdrinking, try switching to a lower percentage alcohol. If it starts interfering in your day-to-day tasks, you might have to really dial it back a notch and imbibe more moderately.

@77nick77 , I’ve been drinking 3-4 light beers a night. It’s hard to stop because it helps me relax. But I know it’s bad so I need to find other ways to cope
