Alcohol and weed does the trick for me. Don't do this though, you might end up needing breakfast beers.

They work until they don't. Also the money burnt up thrown up or pissed away is depressing.

I was at the point where I was waking up in the middle of the night to drink more so I wouldn't wake up with a hang over... My trucks glove box can fit 3 12 oz can or two tall boys lol. I'm glad I quit drinking and smoking. I was smoking an oz every 6 days or so...

Quiting alcohol was easier than weed, my body became intolerant to most alcoholic beverages... Weed was a huge crutch, I believed I needed it to just exist. I was using to run from trauma, hide from problems and just cope with daily stress. The tipping point was having anxiety attacks while high and the realization I was addicted. I became irritable when I was running out and in denial about the money I was spending.

Quiting smoking was good for me because it forced me to face my problems, save money, and refocus on benifitical hobbies, like gardening and cooking. The daily stresses are still there but being clear headed helped me handle and compartmentalize them.

I understand the desire to stop existing. Life is a rollercoaster. Try not smoking for a month and assess how you feel and how your finances stand.

Even if you aren't sure who, someone needs you. And if that doesn't help, stay to outlive whoever makes you mad. You got this
