The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me plan cutting down alcohol.

Current pattern in my words: [details]
Goal: [alcohol-free days / fewer / dry month]
Triggers: [list]
Support at home: [optional]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A realistic cut-down experiment for two weeks.
2. Swap drinks and trigger plans.
3. Strong warning: if I may be dependent, do not stop suddenly without medical advice — speak to GP/111.
4. NHS Better Health / Drink Free Days style pointers.
5. Explicit: not medical detox advice.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent diagnoses, doses, calorie targets or treatment plans. This is help with preparation, planning and wording, not medical, diet or treatment advice; check the NHS website, speak to a pharmacist, or contact NHS 111; call 999 if it feels like an emergency. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
