How do you get over the fantasy of drinking after a rough day? (lemmy.world)

Yeah, I relapsed and this time after like around a week.

But I found the issue isn't drinking itself but thinking about drinking after a bad day.

This is what caused me to give in because my PTO is ending and I'm gonna have to go back to work. My contractor work I will be losing soon as the company done fucked it up.

But this is a bad habit. I cannot keep doing this. Yet I don't know how exactly to get over thr tempting thought of, "You had a bad day, dude. Don't you deserve a drink?"

It sounds good: "I've had a hard day, I deserve a drink"... But in reality, you're just poisoning yourself. We all know it, and you don't feel good the next day. Try to stop thinking of something that's bad for your body and bad for your life as a reward...
