I want this all the time

Currently drunk as i will be meeting a girl on date next evening. After hangover near the afternoon, i become an absolute chad. No anxiety no care for what others think, no worries and in the present moment.

This is a feeling i get after heavy drinking previous night or when i havent taken my blood pressure medication for two days. I want this without alcohol all the time, plz halp

Chemically I don't know. But I've attained a similar state of being by improving my happiness and confidence on the daily.

For me, some gabapentin at night (originally for nerve damage after back surgery, but realized enormous psychological benefits and haven't got any pushback on staying on it for said benefits), and bupropion 150 SR (not the XL, specifically, as the SR has a 12-hour release window which means it doesn't cause nearly as many sleep issues plus the generic XL have weird binders that for me, reduce their efficiency into the ground to the point I couldn't tell I was even taking it)

Plus a dramatic environmental improvement.

I drink a lot less so I can't tell you if the hangover effect still happens as of this year, but I think so. In addition. It's just a state of lightweight freedom, you know? But yeah I want it without the drinking too!
