I really enjoy drinking. It has been a faithful companion of many of the happiest times in my life. That said, I'm not drinking very often in the last half year. I was drinking quite a bit after first moving back to Canada, and especially during the first few months of the pandemic, but I'm down to a bottle of wine every other week now. It's great with joyful times, but not a healthy part of boredom or sadness, which is definitely what the sustained pandemic life has been about.

Drugs aren't much a part of my life though. I pretty much only use things like a little ingestible oil from time to time in small amounts to help me sleep. I'm pretty interested in micro-dosing psilocybin, but not really sure where to start with that in Vancouver.

I've happily taken periods of multiple years 100% off any alcohol and drugs, and I think that's probably the best way to be, but I do actually really enjoy good wine. Scotch too. I really enjoy a good scotch and can spend ages with just a small glass. Weed on the other hand is purely pharmaceutical for me. There's nothing enjoyable about the process, but I appreciate the impact when I need to sleep or just to relax.

I would be happy to go back to 100% off of both again at some point, but in reality I'll probably still indulge when travelling and meeting up with friends or attending events after COVID is done with.
