Sad news is that I reckon it’ll only get worse.
Re abstinence/moderation, I have a ridiculous concession that doesn’t stand up to any scrutiny but actually helps me.
I will allow myself 1 beer two or three times a week and still define that as alcohol free!
I often don’t finish the beer but just having like 3 sips/half a bottle of beer is enough to take the edge off my day and it gets rid of the majority of the cravings. If I finish the first beer then it becomes a challenge not to open a second but the second is deadly and leads to more.
