1. Alcohol is a depressant. Stay away. Drink water. (I am assuming you are not an alcoholic).

2. Define 1 baby step related to your work. (Any easy one that you are sure you can accomplish quickly and easily). Do it. Rinse & repeat. It will get you back on track.

3. Get some air regularly. Walk. It helps.

I stay mostly away, but sometimes being with friends and having fun leads to too much drinking. Nothing excessive, specially because I do it very seldom. If I was going out regularly, the problem would be serious.

Point 2 is very good advice. I will try that.

Point 3 will make my girlfriend happy, and give me some sanity back. I must definitely do that.

Happy to help. See you on the other side.

I could have written more. But I figured you need an actionable 3 point plan rather than a long rambling.
