Basically, I've been drinking a lot recently. I worked itout and I'm drinking around 70 units per week which is way more than the reccommended amount. I know that this is a dangerous amount to be drinking and have been told by several healthcare proffessionals that I should be thinking about cutting down. I'm not currently physically dependent on alcohol, but I find it really difficult to deal with my depression and anxiety without drinking. I'm in therapy and will be seeing a psychiatrist soon to review my meds. I'm hoping getting my meds sorted out will improve my mood enough to make it easier for me to help myself.
My question is: how on earth do I cut back? I honestly don't know what to do with myself without alcohol. Getting drunk is probably the least destructive coping mechanism that I have right now. I know it works temporarily, but I also know that it's not good for me.
