That's what I think all the time too. That's what got me stuck in that rut once again. And yeah, I was able to pull myself out of it within a couple months time, but it wasn't worth going through all that. If it's avoidable in the future it needs to happen.
Point is that alcohol just makes you a miserable person. Even if I were to do it sporadically. That was definitely starting to happen to me again and it's no way to live a life.
I think those voids will eventually be filled naturally the longer we abstain.
