Just about everyday I have to work, I need caffeine to get through it. It's a ton of reading, so I need to stay awake and alert to not miss anything. I don't think I can get a prescription for a stimulant since I don't present any symptoms to really need one.
When it comes to alcohol...that's rare that I crave it. If I do, I know I'm heading into, if not already in, hypomania.
