    It’s a really unpleasant feeling, isn’t it? Being Cassandra is the suck.

    It’s astonishing and demoralizing how many people I respected don’t know history. A good chunk of them tell you there is no train even though they have to shout to be heard over the horn.

    I managed to quit drinking this summer after a hospital detox. Now I’m stuck raw dogging reality.

      Raw dogging it sucks. I got sober years ago, but I had a couple bad relapses. Now I’m at a point where I can get drunk once or twice a week without it taking over my life. Not everyone can do this though so be careful.

      I can’t get drunk when I have to work the next day. I don’t know how I used to do it every day. The hangovers are fucking brutal.

        I take a gummy and a variable amount of ibuprofen every night with dinner. Helps some with sleep and pain.

        My hangover crutch was modafanil. However, I may just have to be done drinking. Sucks, but it was destroying my life. I’m much healthier. I miss bourbon and the brain numbing fog like great sex with a crazy lover.

          Yeah I can’t even drink liquor anymore. I drink a six pack of high abv and I’m pretty sloshed. That would barely touch me when I was in active alcoholism drinking a liter of vodka every day.

          Good choice on the gummies. It’s hard for me because my favorite drug is mushrooms but that takes planning and I don’t have easy access right now. But my very close second favorite is alcohol. It fixes my fucked up brain. Also I love weed and alcohol together but I don’t like weed on its own.
