I used to smoke 2 cigarettes every night before bed and I quit recently. I did fine for the first week, but looking back at the past 2 weeks, I've started drinking more at night, popping Vicodin, or taking the odd Benadryl before bed. So clearly I have some strong need to abuse myself in some way before the day's out - has anyone else done this, and if so, how did you deal with it? It's weird: I'll just be tooling around at night, and then before I know it I'm in witching hour and I have this strong need - not to get fucked up, just to have some intoxicant, whether it's nicotine, alcohol, analgesics or sleeping aids in my system. And not because I have some problem sleeping either - I think it's more to do with switching off from myself. Or maybe that's not such a bad thing and I'm worrying over nothing? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.33017 Fri, 24 Feb 2006 07:49:16 -0800 alcohol cigarettes drugs selfabuse smoking Anonymous
