      Worst in these thoughts is that you never see clearly in the thick of life, only in the blissful decadent moments when you smoke some cigarette or take who knows what that will make your chronic stomach pain worse in the long run.

        I used to smoke and drink heavily and etc and I know what you mean. Not to sound like a square, but lately I’ve been finding sobriety and journaling way better for clarity.

        I don’t hit the same high peaks (or low valleys), but it’s like pop pop pop throughout the day: tiny hits of bliss and good feelings. Sometimes just for a second, but really that’s enough to get me through life I think.
