I quit drinking recently (just hit a month wow), and so far it's been fine because I'm spending all of my time alone or working/doing errands. I don't like drinking alone so it's been fine, but where I live now the ENTIRE social scene is bars and clubs, so I can't meet anyone without being sober in a room full of extremely drunk people. I don't like clubs to begin with, and there's not really any quiet, sit down pubs around here where I could just get a soda and relax.
I used to pound drinks with my buds, but now that I'm seeing demonstrable health benefits of quitting (I have epilepsy and alcohol was giving me seizures) it's getting less justifiable to consider drinking again. I could smoke weed but it often makes me quiet and awkward when alcohol makes me outgoing and confident, which is what I really need right now. Also weed makes me shit at darts and pool.
The med is lamotrigine btw, also used to treat bipolar 2
Huh. I've never really been on meds in my adult life, I only pick up bits and pieces of what stops people from tripping from psychedelic forums. Stuff like that makes me nervous. I don't want to take something that prevents a different part of my brain from experiences. I guess I should thank my lucky stars I don't have to make that choice
Some people say that mushrooms can still work if they take double or triple their normal dose, but I don't wanna triple my dose to find out that the meds aren't inhibiting me and be on an unexpected wild ride.
For real. You don't want to see your ancestors morph out of a pillar of eyes at the pub.
