For anyone clicking through to the comments thinking "I think I sort of need to do something about this but it's too hard/inconvenient/boring/...", I'd like to highly recommend the book "This Naked Mind" by Annie Grace. It's about $7 on most electronic bookstores.
Like everything we use to numb/escape our own minds, alcohol and all the marketing we're fed, and the examples we're set while growing up, make it easy to rationally think we should cut down but there's no way that message is going to be easily accepted by your subconscious!

HTH.
- sethjgore 5y agoI recommend the same book! It helped a lot with my struggles when i was younger.

- gleenn 5y agoThis is amazing. I just installed it (it's a free app with donations at the end) and is exactly the kind of format that I think will help me succeed at taking more control of my alcohol intake. It actually reminds me of the Ten Percent app which is also excellent if your looking for meditation help. I cringe when I say multimedia is what things need but I really think hearing people talk about what you're trying to accomplish is super helpful in staying motivated.
- c0nducktr 5y agoCould you point me to the app you're talking about? I couldn't find it in any of the links.
