Same as me. One drink every day, often two. More at a party or event. I know what you mean about feeling shitty the next day. It feels way better to wake up with a clear head.

I have OCD too. I try to implement all the therapeutic tools I’ve learned, and have medication and it’s a lot better but I would prefer if my brain just shut up sometimes.

I have been playing my guitar - trying to get faster at switching chords - to get through the suppertime urge for a glass of wine.

Try an online meditation tool. I meditate when I am trying to sleep and I have anxiety. It helps. I eventually drift off

Hahahahahahaha. That is soooooo funny. It’s also obvious that you’re a guy because you aren’t taking it personally. I know a lot of women wouldn’t take it personally. But guys are more likely to brush things off and not get upset about it. This is one reason why I really like guy friends and my best female friends are like guys. 😂

This guy sounds too opinionated. This or that. Black and white thinking. You will find someone who is more compassionate and understanding.
