> > Have you thought about substitutes at all? Like what to turn to when craving a drink, or what to do with all of this newly sober time? I feel a sense of urgency to procure some weed to make it through the hard nights (not to make it sound as if giving up one addiction will give way to another, i'm not-at-all a hardcore smoker, I've just found that having a bit on hand for emergencies helps).
I used to be a big-time binge-drinker. The aim was always to get high rather than just drunk. Up to 20 or 30 bottles in a couple of hrs. Gave up one day, just like that, but unfortunately (?) moved on to binging on street drugs. Got a grip on that but started binge-drinking again. I guess that stopped when alcohol no longer made me high but just more depressed. E had long ago stopped making me 'ecstatic'.
Now the only thing that gets close to filling the hole is M. Jane. All day long.
Strangely enough never tried opiates. Guess I know I'll like 'em too much.
Funnily enough, being a life-long depressive, the only meaningful experiences in my life have been whilst intoxicated!
