You're right, I think -- not bumps in the world. You're drinking.

Among your friends, are there any recovered alcoholics you can call? That's often the best thing to do when you're feeling low in the wee hours and a drink seems like a good idea. I also recommend coming here and posting, or watching a sobriety support video, either one with a pint of ice cream in hand.

P.S. Why do you have alcohol in your home? My first thing, under lockdown, would be to make my home a safe place. No viruses, no addictive substances. I've often thought that if there were liquor in my apartment, I might not have been able to resist over the last many months.
Thanks for the response, Courage.
There is often wine in my house, as my wife drinks.
Usually I don't even notice it but these times when I've drank, I would see the wine and the lightbulb would light up.
I will post here again more regularly.
I find after long periods without drink, I get complacent and never think about my problem.
