It doesn’t really phase me. Alcohol is always available, and reminding me of that fact doesn’t really make it any harder. I typically cut loose a bit over the holidays, as I’m seeing friends and attending parties, but I try to remain mindful that it’s not to be an everyday thing, especially because it interferes so much with things I want to do—work, hobbies, and relationships. A useful strategy for me is to create obligations that preclude me from drinking excessively, such as being DD.
