My mind was racing. My sagittarian fire was raging. My angst was escalating and I was crying in futile rage against the dying of the light.
So I had a drink and took a nap. There are times when you need a cranberry vodka. There are times when you can enjoy a puff on a bowl of marijuana and there are other times when you need to be stone cold sober so you can grok all the intricacies of life.
Self medication is not a bad thing. Better living through modern chemisty. A bowl of ice cream is my medication of choice tonight. Blue Bunny Bordeaux Cherry Chocolate. I feel so calm and comforted. Life can be brutal.
Where does it say we have to be so darn good all the time? I agree that eating too much or drinking too much is bad and makes you feel terrible. I often wonder why I think eating a bunch of chocolate brownies fresh and warm out of the oven makes me feel so good in the moment but then I feel bad later on trying to digest the mess. I think it is a matter of quantity.
Why isn't life simple? Substances exist in this world to offer comfort but then they turn on you with hang overs and nausea. Moderation in all things, even moderation.

People might consider working in moderation but noooo, what a sinful thing to think! You're a sensible woman with good thoughts.
But then you said it with a Z twist: moderation, even in moderation.
We actually happen to be made out of substances.
So it is natural that some substances
kind of meld with our substances.
Everything is natural.
i mean, we are inside Nature, correct?
what is 'unnatural' ?
chocolate stimulates the same brain area as the hard drugs.
it is sometimes called, ha, "the pleasure center".
Some say, pleasure is bad cuz life is not meant to be enjoyed,
it is a RESPONSIBILITY, which is grim.
i say, well, you have your viewpt, and i have mine. haw.
As to the rest, I've pretty much quit drinking because of my foot and if I had pot I would get arrested. That's how my life works. So I sit outside and breathe.
