I’m one of those people who always swears off drinking after a binge, but never follows through. I can go a week without a drink, but by the weekend I always get back into it. I have a very emotionally taxing job so a lot of times, I use alcohol to relax once I’m home. I’ve been trying to replace that instinct to grab a drink with going to the gym for the past two weeks, and although working out does help me feel better, I still feel tense after work or like my brain is just constantly buzzing.

If anyone has tips on how to cut drinking either entirely or just by a lot, would you mind sharing your tips? Also, I’d love to hear success stories from people who have overcome similar struggles.
