Not drinking but smoking, I quit when covid started and I was afraid that my damaged lungs would make vulnerable to it.

Earlier this year I was reading 'The Gracie Diet' which is a book about nutrition written by the Gracie family, a the people who pretty much made brazillian jiu jitsu and the key take-away to avoid bad food is to think of it like a fight with a nemesis.

There's someone that is trying to kill you, he will try to use any means, what if he would try to poison you? How easy would that be? What if this enemy were to add poison to your ice cream? How easy would that be for you notice that? News flash, icecream is already poison and the enemy is yourself.

Replicate the same thinking to alcohol, it is poisoned because someone is trying to kill you.

Can't have tilted paintings. Ice-cream is poisonous. Alcohol is poisonous. The floor is lava.

Make it a game or leverage your existing OCD for good things.
