Smoking made me really lightheaded (wasn't fun) and the alcohol left me a mangled mess on the patio. I got instantly drunk, then sobered up in about 30 minutes. Then I had the second shot, got drunk again and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning I had the biggest hangover of my life. It was so brutal, I've never ever felt so horrible. I litterally had a 24 hour hangover.
I couldn't enjoy any food ... so I went over board with everything else. I just wanted so badly to "Enjoy" myself again. What a friggin' mess I was. I do NOT want a repeat performance.
So yes, I absolutely understand needing to look somewhere other than food to feel good. And it SUCKS!
