oooooh i havent had a gose in years!! i've never heard of partake, is that a craft brewer? if i go to the corner liquor store i will get heineken n/a of budweiser zero, which are suitable for my alcoholic brain. but i was a huuuuge craft beer nerd in my drinking days so once a month or so i will go to the bottle shop and spend like $50 on craft n/a's - golden ales or IPAs or lagers, whatever looks good that day. i am very fortunate that i can treat myself in that way sometimes.

for my social anxiety i am in a place mentally now that it doesnt bother me too much but if we are hosting people or going out to an event or something i will usually take a quarter or a half of a THC gummy and that works wonders for me. i have some strategies i learned form my therapist too, but usually just taking the edge off in another way works the best (i understand that is complicated because it is essentially replacing one form of self-medication with another, but i don't abuse the gummies the way i abused alcohol so it works for me).
