I found pretty quickly in was enjoying the ritual of drinking, not the alcohol itself. Once I figured that out I would have a cold seltzer water after a day of work, or when hanging out with friends, and get the exact same ‘unwinding’ feeling.

Pretty soon after that I could have water with ice - turns out my body just wanted something cold at a certain time as a cue to relax.

Still going strong 6 years later!
