I'm drunk alone at home, anyone else doing something similar due the depression/problems? (sh.itjust.works)

This might have changed my brain chemistry just a bit. Thanks, stranger.

Glad to have helped. It's a good rule of thumb and at this point it's not even conscious for me. It's just muscle memory for me that if I'm feeling any of those things I don't drink. I avoid drinking alone unless I'm doing something fun, I never drink if I'm dealing with personal shit, etc.

Basically if I don't already have something fun going on, I don't drink. My mindset is that drinking should complement something fun that's already happening, not that it should be a source of fun on its own.
