Drinking can be such a crutch for me if I am not feeling confident or anxious. But I have put myself through some situations with these feelings and have shown myself I can prevail, it's tough but possible. I think for me, if I drink then it keeps extending, from it's ok i had some drinks last night, to the next day, to the next day, to ehhh I'm useless. So giving myself a break right now from the cycle and trying some new things and routines is my focus.
