u/Puzzled_Schedule_350

After shift I hit the bottle shop next door to my work to grab a drink while I wait for my bus, then I grab some more on the walk home, and drink until I fall asleep at like 8:30pm. This shit is ruining my life but it’s a habit I’ve had for like ten years and I can’t seem to shake it. In the mornings I feel so optimistic about not drinking, but as soon as I finish my shift all I see is a long bus ride home and an empty house waiting for me and I get scared.

Does anyone have any advice on how to beat those old alcoholic rituals? Any advice or similar stories very much appreciated.
