This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.
We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.
Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

Anything works as long as you keep reminding yourself you're not going to drink. It really helps if you have other people in your friend group or partner that also don't drink. Less likely to feel pressured to drink that way.
And a rule of thumb is to never drink when alone, that can spiral out very easily.
As for what to do on weekends, bing watch movie, series, anime, play games. Read books. Maybe something artistic, making things (anything that's available). When you create something it gives you dopamine when you complete it. Happiness that comes from that is great. Maybe learn programming, or other skills. Cooking is another thing that becomes fun as you get better, and you get to enjoy good food.
