Who is drinking more?

Drinking so much more at home. Stressed, anxious and bored. Seems like opening a bottle is something to look forward to.

Usually only drink at weekends but every day feels like the weekend now all routine is gone.

I'm confident it won't become a problem but I'll probably put on a few lbs at least!

Anyone else?

Well i knew it was true but i can finally own it, I've lost control. I'm so frightened. I mean of the virus, not the drinking. I made the decision not to replenish supplies, even if i could. What remains would last 3 nights at current pace. I hope i don't continue, but even if i do it will then have run its course. I look like crap and feel awful.

Re the poster worried about her friend? And whether to say anything?

Similar predicament here. My BF has a history of drinking larger quantities, every night and in the past few months had gotten a handle on it. Really reining it in. Self isolation has made her go backwards massively. Spoke to her a few days ago at midday and she was already pouring herself a glass. I didn’t say anything. But she’s gone from having a structure that helped her manage her relationship with booze to no structure.

It’s a slippery slope. And one that petrifies me in terms of longer term life habits.
