With Christmas coming I'm wondering how I'll celebrate now I've quit drinking. Yes that's correct, I want a bit of euphoria. I want to drop my guard, let my hair down. I love music, the great outdoors etc but nothing works like alcohol for that feeling of letting go. Things I've tried to unwind are kava (minimal effect and probably imaginary); pot (either no effect or frightening dissociative effect with a rolling short-term memory loss so I feel I can't remember who I am); Xanax (minimal anxiety control and no euphoria); meditation (can rarely bring euphoria but hard to predict). Obviously nothing that takes weeks to work is what I'm after. I take Pamelor and lithium anyway. I'm not mad enough to try hard drugs or E and too scared to try GHB.
I suppose a dramatic conversion to Christianity might do the trick. I see them all euphoric, especially at this time of year. But that's hardly something that can be done to order. Any suggestions?
