I joined last night and didn’t reach 4 a glass of vodka. Just got into a very bad habit of drinking every night and becoming a habit more than wanting a drink. I’m fine during the day it’s when it comes 2 night time the wee devil pops onto my shoulder and I cave in. Any tips would be very much appreciated. Also where is everyone from? I live in scotland.

Welcome! From North Carolina via New York US.
It’s just changing a pattern and finding something you enjoy to divert your attention. Right now I remind myself that’s it’s temporary that it’s so difficult. It usually takes about three weeks to firm a new habit, or something like that.
Lots of great people and reading on here. I spent an exorbitant amount of time on here in the beginning. I also spend a lot of time here during nights and weekends. It really helps
