I would be happier if I didn’t drink at all

[Aurora231]

Hi everyone, posting for advice.
I am not addicted to alcohol, but I used to enjoy drinking wine when socialising, never to excess.
However I find that alcohol makes me incredibly depressed. Even just one drink now makes
me feel anxious, stressed and sad the next day. Is that possible - that just one drink could do that?
I think I would be so much happier if I just stopped drinking but it makes me feel a bit pathetic - I mean, I can stop after one drink, and who can’t handle one drink? Any advice?

Just say you’re allergic to it.
In my 40’s I became less tolerant so cut down to 1 or 2 nights a week, but even just 2 glasses makes me so tired the next day. I’ve not given up drinking , but I know that if I do the next day is a wash out.
I’ve not had a drink for over a week now and every day is so much better and clearer, I have so much more energy and clear thinking. The longer I go without, the less I want it.

After I had stayed sober awhile and made some changes I could be happy whenever i wanted!
