It's ruining my life. And the irony is it's the only way to dissociate from bad things. At least it seems like that's the only way. Feels like the snake that eats its own tail.

I don't even really view it as a recreational substance because the buzz is almost imperceptible, but as a anxiety medication and pain killer that also curbs my more unhealthy impulses its amazing.
