I use the Less App to track my drinking and it averages out to around once a month as sometimes go months without drinking and some every other weekend or two in a row max usually I’d say.
4 months or so is the longest I usually go without any.
I was a functional binge drinker through my 20’s into my 30’s.
I was using alcohol as a method of repression with drinking being the learned coping behavior I had picked up through my parents.
When I started to connect the dots and also had an economic goal in my life it made it easier to give it up.
Wherever the turmoil is within the pillars of my life whether they be family, relationship, job/career, or health becomes the weakest link which I’d look to repress which just ends up having a nasty pop up effect long term.
Those internal secrets can eat you alive if you let them.
