imbibe

意味　〈アルコール〉を摂取する.

明確な断酒・節酒理由を持つのは大事ですね。
私は「これまでに酒のせいで失った人間関係と時間とお金について後悔する機会があったから」です。今年の年末まで禁酒続行できてたら日記に書きたいなあ。

complexion

今はリアル知人と会うことがほぼない生活なので救われてる。前の私だったら「人と会うときだけは飲んでOK」にして飲みすぎてやらかしてたと思うわ。

temptation

意味　[C]誘惑するもの, 魅力的なもの

“Substituting one behavior for another can work because you’re tricking your brain,” Hafeez said. “That can absolutely help you avoid temptation.”

今はコーヒーとミントタブレットと炭酸水で耐えてます。まだひと月経ってないけどw

intervention

意味　（事態打開· 和平のための）＜…への＞干渉, 介入; 仲裁, 調停＜in＞; 介在 (すること)

“Even just measuring your behavior, whether it’s alcohol or exercise or your diet can be an intervention in and of itself,” she said.

そうそう。「どういうタイミング・心境・状況のときに、酒を飲みたい・暴食したいと思うのか」を把握するのとても大事！
私の場合は（まだ全部出しきれてないけど）「暇なとき・イライラしたとき・生理中・ちょっと良いことがあったとき（自分を甘やかしたくなるw）」が危ないので、そういう時には温かいものを飲んで落ち着きます。で、結構頻繁に危なくなるのでひたすら飲んでますw

withdrawal

意味　[U] （薬などの）使用中止; 禁断症状 (withdrawal symptoms).

“The first thing to be mindful of is whether or not you actually have an alcohol use disorder,” Wakeman said. “If someone’s been drinking very heavily every single day and is at risk for withdrawal symptoms, then it can actually be dangerous to stop abruptly.”
