“Reflecting on and adopting the use of micro-affirmations would be a positive strategy to prevent microaggressions. Micro-affirmations are small acts that foster inclusion, listening, comfort and support for people who may feel isolated or invisible in their environment. Focus on action, not avoidance – create new good behaviours.”
How do you feel about for-profit prisons?

I actually actively stopped drinking during quarantine for fear of developing bad habits.
Former(?) alcoholic here. At my worst I was drinking 10-12 shots of whiskey a night. Never went to AA but figured if I didn’t quit, I would lose my wife. Have been sober for 3.5 years now.
The last thing your SO will want to hear is that he/she has a problem. Check out https://al-anon.org for some pointers on how to address it.
I’m oversimplifying here but try to replace the drinking with something else. Working out, taking walks, etc. Breaking the habit with something else is the hardest part. Good luck dude 👍🏻

How severe a problem are we talking about? Everyone I know is drinking more. I barely drank before: only drank 1-2 shots (in a mixed drink) a week. Now I’m averaging 1-2 shots every other day.

It’s been 4 months. I think I’m gonna start drinking too. 😩

Yeah, I suppose it’s a little bit of that.
Pro
Yes. I am no teetotaler but wife goes through a bottle of wine or equivalent more often than not, a couple full glasses around dinner and the rest after the kids go to bed. I think it is causing her immediate health problems, to have trouble sleeping, and is getting expensive. It has also sucked out all the enjoyment for me of whipping up mixed drinks which I used to do a couple nights a week and/or a buying a good bottle of wine or bourbon.
Pro
I've tried a couple times but she underestimates the amount she drinks so she is very dismissive. She has a doctor's appt coming up for something she is certain is not related but I think it could be so I'll figure out a way to stress the importance of honestly answering the doctors questions about drinking as she'll probably want to answer "a glass or two a couple times a week."

My flat mate was going through a bottle a day, then slowed down. I on the other hand don’t want to spend money on it. It has gone to sweets.
Tell them we have to cut back on alcohol expenses due to economic uncertainty.
have been averaging 1 or 2 mixed drinks a night during quarantine. i used to drink maybe once every week or two pre quarantine. not being able to go out, see friends, or go to the office plus living on my own are some of the reasons why
Are you my SO?
