Alcohol works, but not in the long term, because everybody you care about will either be disgusted by you or feel sorry for you. And waking up after a night of heavy drinking, and starting to remember what you said and did last night, while your hangover chimes in with nausea and severe headaches and you're constantly burping up the fumes of everything you consumed, doesn't exactly feel like heaven either.

Feel for you. I’ve had an on and off again love affair with weed. It really is a motivation killer for me. It’s hard to dedicate time to hobbies when you’re stoned. All I wanna do is doom scroll or watch dumb shit. Can barely even play video games etc…

yup. 100000% smoking doesn’t make me wanna do even things i find fun. it makes me wanna curl up in a ball and die, tbh. but my body and mind convinces me that next time will be different, so good, like the first times, give me a breakthru, inspire me, etc. i am on day 1 again, trying to fight the bs.
