Listen to this podcast on the physical effects of alcohol, remembering how damaging it is helps me not turn to it. Also I really got into tea, just the ritual of making a cup and savoring it after work helps me decompress just like a glass of wine did. It takes time because you're essentially making a new habit. Just take it one day at a time. Also, r/stopdrinking is very motivating.

As someone who was emotionally addicted to tea for many years, just make sure you stick to non-caffeinated teas in the 6-8 hours before you go to bed.

Oh yes strictly herbal I can't tolerate any PM caffeine. It's just cool to me because I used to truly disdain tea...now it's a nice comfort.

I’ve definitely taken to Celestial’s peach tea as a way to relieve stress lately. I guess you can never have too much (herbal) tea.
