It's interesting you mention this. Since about a year ago, although it'd been coming on for longer. I found without trying that i didn't want to have much alcohol. I imbibe a tiny amount once in a while, but have noticed the enjoyment of any more than a couple of sips is just gone.
The cherries on the trees have started to ferment a little. I ate three handfuls yesterday. And until evening, I felt drunk

That's how you can feel drunk in a natural environment. And that's only possible in summer.
I'm glad you don't drink much. But you really don't even need a couple of sips.
Happy when the weather forecast is wrong and it’s actually hotter and sunnier.
Weather forecasts are a legal form of fraud
I don't know if you have watched that movie 'inception'. They have these objects that they use to tell whether they are dreaming or not. Might be an idea to try something like that, a picture, object, something that might help to 'reset' upon waking.
I like this movie. You mentioned that they use a certain object to determine reality or dreams. I used that too at one time.
I also like the idea in the movie of how they show the imprint of an idea in a thought—that really impressed me. And it works. That's why I use a trance state of mind. And that's why I choose good movies where I can learn something or relax. Because almost any movie is a trance state. Have you thought about that?
I wish I had a somewhere to go scream my lungs out. But there's not a single place in this town where I can be alone.
I found a solution: I scream into my pillow. No one can hear me, I don't bother anyone, and I scream!
There doesn’t seem to be anything to turn to other than seeking validation here and escaping into sleep.
Well, just being here is already good!
