    Without MC (medication) I had a real rough time sleeping. It’s actually fucked how much it helps.

    I ended up buying a pouch of tobacco and now I’m having a sober ciggie. I told mein liebe to hide the pouch.

    How else can I hate myself more? Suggestions welcome 😂

    Edit: can someone tell me I’ll hop back on the wagon pls

      you’ll hop back on no worries. It’s like riding a horse. You’ll fall on your arse again and again but what counts is getting back on.

          smish It’s hard, and there’s a tendency to focus on the falls as the failure. The falls aren’t the failure. The giving up on attempts to ride the horse is the failure.

      Those nitotine lozenges work pretty well for cravings. Jump back on the wagon. You can do it. I did and I was going through about 5 bottles of vodka a week in my last bender. I know it’s not that simple but hit me up if you want a sober buddy, I’m serious. I’m not suggesting for a second I think you’re an alcoholic or anything less than powerful but alcohol ends up a part of many facets of life and creeps. Having some sober people around helps.

      I take a non habit forming sleep tablet, which is actually an anti-anxiety / anti-d, but in lower doses just helps getting to sleep and getting back to sleep when I wake up. I tried not using a couple of nights and went back to my normal less then average sleep pattern for what that is worth.

      I don’t want you to hate yourself, I am however going to suggest putting on relaxation sounds to help go to sleep.

      I do the rain/water sounds on low volume at night on a sleep timer.

        💜💜💜 thank you dear friend! I think I fell asleep when the rain hit last night, so I will try the rain sounds. You’re the best! 😍😍
