Hi B,

We can set boundaries with other people. We should also set boundaries with ourselves.

My challenge for you is to not have contact with him for at least a year. Hopefully he can’t procure your number from friends or knows where you live. Ideally you won’t see or talk to him for a year. (Well, ideally never, but let’s start somewhere!)

The other thing is to replace your habit of drinking with another habit. I find Duolingo (a language app) for example, SUPER addicting. Do something like that. If your drinking is an actual chemical addiction at this point, obviously, get help.

That’s a start!

Best,

Inky
