when the days are too much I just wanna vanish. But instead I see drinking as an interest to try to keep things jazzy. Sorta makes sense in a way. Or smoking to keep it mellow.

Depression

Substance Use Disorder (SUD)

I self medicated with alcohol and drugs for 22 years before ruining my entire life. I say that to say this - recovering from SUD and anxiety is way easier when you make a conscious decision to stay actively sober. I'm on 1425 days of sobriety and my life is much better, both mentally and physically. Just a thought though.
