Binge drinking

chronic pain, lockdown , change of jobs, anxiety through the roof, mental health not in a good place, my drinking 2-3 days a week can be very excessive and I just binge until I feel numb. Can someone dm me who’s going through a similar situation. I need to get out of this vicious circle otherwise I will lose everything.

The replies that were provided on yesterday's thread that someone posted about managing their drinking might be helpful to you. A lot of about addressing your relationship with alcohol, looking at the reason why you drink etc. Find the thread at:- healthunlocked.com/britishl...

All the best, Katie
