Hi folks
NC for this - just looking to see i fthere's anyone else in this very odd boat.
When I'm at home on my own and stressed, I tend to just drink what's inf ront of me. So if that was half a bottle of wine, fine,e but sometimes it can be a fair whack of a bottle of gin. I've tried to stop having it in the house for that reason. But when I'm out with friends, I actually don't drink as much, and if I don't have it it doesn't bother me.
I don't want to give up entirely but it's that thing of once I've started I find it hard to stop.

Not in the same boat but you could try buying pre-mixed cans of gin etc then just have 1 or 2. I also drink camomile tea every night at 9pm and never fancy alcohol after that

Could you stop having it at home and only drink on nights out?

It's not a good sign when you don't have an internal "off switch" for alcohol.
