Moving back to my apartment tomorrow. Mental health has been so-so and I feel like I’m developing a drinking problem. Feeling supported by my loved ones, but it also involves drinking every night and usually not in small quantities. With leaves me extremely unproductive during the day, until my evening plans. Fuck… will need to get this under control before it becomes a more permanent problem.
It's scary how quickly a dependence on alcohol creeps up on you. So many of these social situations you feel like you have to drink. Then it becomes habit, and not just on weekends-pitfall of socializing. I most often relapse when I'm living/staying with others-it's hard not to drink when it becomes an integral part of your socialization. I hope moving back helps-a change in scenery can often help kick the habit.
