Set goals and celebrate your achievements: Give yourself something to strive for, and celebrate your accomplishments to build self-esteem and positive feelings about yourself.
Use substances in moderation: Sometimes drinking too much alcohol is a way to numb difficult emotions. Notice when you are using substances more than usual, and think about whether there’s an emotional cause for this.
