I've been pretty much #sober since May or so (go me!). Consequently I eat a lot more; #cannabis kills my appetite oddly. I start to gain weight and feel lethargic, so I do #fasting for a day or two every few weeks.

Cravings keep seeping out of my subconscious; urges to go find something that can fill the hormonal vacuum.

> Some will show up as often as several times a week with predictable complaints—chest pain, lower-back pain, #anxiety, #alcohol intoxication, #depression, #suicide -al ideation. Some have a #SubstanceAbuse problem; some are #homeless; many suffer from #schizophrenia or other forms of #psychotic or disorganized thinking. But there is only one thing I can think of that binds them all together. They are all #lonely.
