I spent over a month with my family recently and it hasn't helped this time.

I don't think withdrawal is an issue. I drastically cut down my drinking 9 months ago and since 4 months I'm 100% sober. Frankly, I expected more from sobriety.

Welcome to sobriety where you get to see those problems that you were ignoring before. Now you have to put in effort and face the reasons why you started drinking

You've built no support system and relied on your job as your social outlet/life. One bad review and it knocks you to the core. You've moved to a country where you don't speak the language and you haven't picked it up after 9+ months.

Why did you move? For money? A career? Lifestyle change? Please family? Does the original the reasons matter anymore?

If everyone is remote could you move to another country where the language is the same?

I would focus on building a lifestyle outside of work. Join an online game / join a team

Thank you! I think I am/was in a vicious circle where work is taking all my energy that I need to fix my private life, and the deficiency of my private life hurts me at work.
