Welcome!
This is a safe place to discuss, vent, support, and share information about mental health, illness, and wellness.
Thank you for being here. We appreciate who you are today. Please show respect and empathy when making or replying to posts.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
1-Posts promoting paid products and services of any kind are not allowed here.
2-All posts and comments must be helpful and supportive. Do not put vulnerable people at risk.
3-Do not DM or ask to speak privately to any of our members unless they specifically request it.
If a person from this community disturbs you in a comment, please report the comment. If you receive a DM you did not request, send a screenshot of the DM in a message to a moderator. This is a bannable offense.
4-Suicide, Self-Harm, Death-- Extended discussions are STRONGLY DISCOURAGED here. First, mods and community members are caring people, but not experts in crisis situations. Second, we want to avoid Lemmy becoming like many commercial social media platforms, where comments can snowball into counterproductive talk.
If you or someone you know needs more help than can be found here, please refer to the pinned resources.
If BRIEF mention of these topics is an important part of your post, please flag your post as NSFW and include a (trigger warning: suicide, self-harm, death, etc.)in the title so that other readers who may feel triggered can avoid it.

No silver bullets. That's now how this works.
I recommend that you attempt to control your drinking a bit. You don't need to quit today or anything like that. Just cut yourself off at a certain time every night.
I wish you a better 2025.
I wish you the same.
If anyone on here reads any of this and also feels like their drinking is doing more harm than good, I'd like to reference the community c/StopDrinking which has a lot of supportive people, helpful tips and general positivity that may help.
I feel comfortable saying I am not currently an addict but I do recognize I am on my way there. I can use every bit of support in trying to curb this thing before it ruins my life.
