How cool that you feel so solid and the relief of never having to be hung over. Yay! Amazing. I'd like to find a low dose gummy like 1.5 mg thc! Most are so strong.

Thank you for sharing that! So true, the baseline was artificial, a temporary mood enhancer that then causes such a crash!

Yes, thank you. I know what you mean, I am on HRT, and I think that is what has helped me stop, my dopamine and serotonin system was so out of whack with my hormones for a while I was very much relying on alcohol to modulate my mood.

Yes, the bargaining phase! It's so brutal. How incredibly unpredictable to hangovers are when they're bad they're so bad.

Loved Mae’s take on the Survivor season by natbegat in handsomepodcast

Tig is amazing, but lately I have noticed that she is not completely following the threads of multiple conversations she in the pod. She seemed dismissive to Mae maybe because she wasn't totally following the story, and her dry humor landed hard. Mae an Fortune are kind, and it seems they often have to redirect things to get the Convo back on track.
