Alcohol, is it the final stumbling block?

I resumed drinking in '22 and '23. I would quit, start, quit, start etc.
I have quit drinking (again) on 2 Dec 23 after a nasty 2 day hangover.
I have returned to carnivore, and have shifted 6 kg since early January,

Fantastic, well done!! Now, I think you need to identify your alcohol triggers, or you will always go back. Have you done that? And developed avoidance plans?

@Alec Yes! My DH & DIL drink and one of my triggers is social drinking. My DS and I don’t join them. We don’t make a big fuss. We just say “no” to that first drink.
If I don’t drink, DH drinks alot less.
I am fortunate that I can leave wine in the house and not be craving it. But just saying no to that first drink is the key.
