Alcohol - friend or foe? Strug. Ses. Request

Pros: Warms you up Helps you storm buildings The warm gun in your hand

Con: You sad enough you die Ruins lives Happy but I'm still sad

Thoughts?

    I think partly it's cause I knew what I was getting into with opiates ahead of time where booze is just so normalized it's harder to see it for what it is. If alcohol wasn't cheaper and more available I'd probably be hooked on opiates cause they're genuinely better. I use them or benzos when I need to take a booze break. I've been managing an okay tapering but I'm going back to working again for the first time since last year and it's ten hour days and that's gonna be harder

      Yeah, anyone experimenting with opiates needs to have a healthy respect for them ahead of time, that certainly helps. I myself went into them just after realizing DARE had lied to me about weed, so I was kinda screwed in that regard lmao.

      Still, there are a ton of horror stories of people who thought they could chip having their habit suddenly catch up to them. It really does come out of nowhere at times. The moment you realize you're using to stay well rather than for pleasure is the moment you need to back off. But often times by then it's too late. Be careful out there.
