- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Welcome to the downward cycle of stimulants, depressants and anti-depressants.
Having been down that path of excess for a good number of years, my only path was straight down. From personal experience, my only path for normality was to stop all of that shit.
It sucks to quit and it sucks to learn how to do this life thing without chemical enhancement. It's a whole bunch of suck all over the place. However, life eventually got easier to handle and I didn't have the rollercoaster of drunkness or numbness going on any more.
It took a couple of years, but I would consider life fun again. It just took a while to learn what "fun" actually was for me.
It's a medical requirement for me to ditch coffee now, unfortunately. However, now that I don't have a hangover every morning, there is less of a need to drink coffee by the pot anymore, so there is that.
