    Ooh, a less alcohol goal? I just completed dry January myself and carbonated, flavored water really helped me. It had the texture I was looking for in beer.

    Best of luck to veganism, between you and me dairy is easier to go without than eggs if you’re looking for a way to start, and after a while you’ll develop lactose intolerance which helps.

      congrats on the dry january and thank you for these very helpful suggestions!

      i don’t really get alcohol cravings so much as socially my ptsd only relaxes when i’m tipsy and trying to hang out socially while sober i usually stress myself or others out so that’s something i’m trying to address in therapy. especially hanging out with my girlfriend i’m very loving and cuddly when tipsy but i’m a little tetchy and don’t like to be touched and can be snippy when sober. Ugh just thinking about it is stressful.
