    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.
