Plan your meals, make a lunch and take it to work instead of bar food and booze....you did not mention if you smoke, so if you are doing cigs, cigars, pipes, get off that poison that often leads to booze in one hand and fire burning tobacco/rope in the other hand....all of the advice is excellent below, but if you do reach out to someone face to face, beware of referrals to 12 step religion of AA....there are secular sobriety support groups, rational recovery....don't drive drunk, don't drink in bars.... wind down if you like getting a slight buzz with wine or beer with V8 juice....post notes on your fridge and mirrors you are in charge of your beverage choices....filtered water, plain club soda, tea, lemon flavored water, squeeze a lime into your ice cold water.... if coffee is your thing, be careful with too hot brew....take showers, take baths, stimulate yourself with a vibrating chair, anything to give you pleasure that is not poison ethanol....call friends who are sober and chat with them instead of staring at a John Daniels bottle or Russian Bear Wodka

Getting in contact with a therapist would be good you may have issues in life that need to be dealt with.

i can't like this enough!! i'm in texas and it will prob be legal the day after i die.
...now we got that dumbass mother fucker jeff sessions as the a/g and he claims that legalization causes violent crime. he's doing his best to get it back to illegal in states that have legalized it for recreational.... medical mj has passed in az but i don't think it's legal for rec. i took this pic in jamaica...it was growing like 5' from the street. it was a happy day! now i'm back in tx..

@SeeCanU All that's needed is a vacation to CO, or most people have friends who have friends who know someone.

@birdingnut it's the getting caught thingy that i'm worried about. i DO need another vacation though.

@mudhen The exact opposite. Alcohol is dangerous, damages the liver and is addictive. Most people drink too much because they are unhappy.

Cannabis HEALS the body, and in older people it actually rejuvenates the brain, it cures a host of serious diseases, including cancer, and it can be taken many ways.

Smoking doesn't do much to cure disease, but there's cannabis oil (which I take for cancer, and the cancer is receding), edibles, and other ways to get it. It's prescribed in hospitals in Spain. It stops pain, calms the mind, and stops depression.

Quote from link:
"Without cannabis, mature and aged mice performed worse on the tests than young mice did. But after the elderly animals were given cannabis THC, their performances improved to the point that they resembled those of young, untreated mice. “The effects were very robust, very profound,” Zimmer says."

@mudhen You sound like you work for the Big Pharm, LOL! The US medical society banned cannabis so they could push their own synthetic toxic drugs.
