I drank something like an average of over 2 bottles of bourbon a week for the majority of the covid lockdown which I did longer than most. I think a lot of people fell into depression and drank heavily.... I always had a bit of a problem with substance abuse. Find that it's much easier to stay in a better place mentally if I keep a regular schedule, and exercise, and don't drink at all. Easier said than done, and everyone's different. Best of luck.
Thanks mate. I’m working on it and the first step is realizing you have a problem so I’ve got that behind me.
Another note - how long was your lockdown? I think I finally went back to “normal” the middle of 2022 but I stopped going everywhere in a mask (unless I have a cough or sneeze or something) the start of this year.
