Never really been into self-medicating in the past ---- I do smoke cigarettes (like a chimney)....and when I was younger I would over-use RX drugs --- like something that made me sleepy.....but I never really abused anything.

Partied a little when I was young, but my Dad was an alcoholic and I knew I had that tendency so I stayed away from it...

However, over the last year and half (my world tilted sideways on its axis and it's been a hellish year or so)....I have found myself "wanting" to self-medicate somehow, some way. It is the weirdest experience. So far, I have avoided it because I know drinking is not something I need to do if I want my medications to work.
