I am 37 m. I don’t drink on a daily or weekly basis anymore since past couple of years. I didn’t drink for a while at all and started drinking one night a month. I always start drinking thinking that one day break wont hurt anything and i can be on track again soon. But that one day of binge drinking making my anxiety go up which is leading into feeling depressed at least 4 to 5 days after the drinking day. This is hurting my workout my eating habits, my timings mostly my mindset to be hopeful. This is getting worse and worse with every such binge sitting from the past few months. Last one of such is last Friday. I continued drinking through the weekend in phases this time until Sunday afternoon. And this whole week until now i didn’t feel like myself, couldn’t sleep and was having crazy thoughts. I decided yesterday it’s time for me to end this vicious loop. I did quit smoking from 6 months ago successfully and haven’t thought alcohol is a problem with me and believed that i could control it. Today is my day 5 of quitting alcohol. I welcome any experienced people’s insights on my case and etc.. thank you
