Hi there,
I'm in the same cycle....have been for 10 plus years.
I'm fit / exercise well and eat pretty much healthy but I slip time and time again.....I'll go day after, after day, after day drinking. I've had counselling, cut back but alas I always slip.
I wake up in a morning feeling dreadful and the first thing that spring into my mind is 'go get a drink, make you feel better'.
I need to change, I know I need to change but after so long how can I? I feel like a failure.
Like others have said...exercise, eat well = clear mind. I get that when I have a day off but I cannot seem to turn them into DAYS off.
Help.
