I really appreciate the thoughts. I've cut back quite a bit (at least for me), so no more liquor. And Covid did help in a way since I don't go out to bars anymore. Also am unemployed so I don't really have money to drink, but I can get enough to keep me satiated; I hang out with my parents more, and they are helping me out, and it is really great to reminisce with them. I'm just very lucky that I have a great Mom and Dad. Though I can't hang out with my friends as often, it's okay, keeps me out of trouble ;) Hope you have been doing safe as well. Thanks again.

Oh, edit: Covid hit right when I was starting to go to counseling and attending AA meetings. What great timing, lol!.
