How To set Boundaries with people who Drink

Change your routine

Until you feel comfortable around alcohol, or people who drink in general. It is better to choose other meeting places. Chatting over coffee or tea. Go to a yoga or meditation class with a friend, or take a walk with a colleague in the park instead of the usual after-work bar gatherings.

It took more than a year until I stopped wanting to drink every day, although there were especially difficult moments. For example, in the past, the process of preparing dinner always included alcohol, and after lunch on Friday, there was a persistent feeling that today you need to get drunk. I started listening to podcasts while cooking to take my mind off drinking and started running on Fridays.
