Traversing toward new habits
is
most
difficult
when you have to live through the voids your old habits left behind.
Your old habits need a successor;
without, relapse is both
easy to understand

functional problem solving.
Consider:

If you stop excessively drinking, you are pressed to find alternative ways to manage what you were numbing.
New beginnings come from making plans to address the
voids
old habits
leave
behind.
