Keeping busy (sh.itjust.works)

Do you guys notice when youre keeping your brain active and busy its fine (hyperfocusing on multiple projects, manic business etc) . But if you want to wind down you feel the need to drink so it slows your brain down? If I dont, my brain never stops and its hard to enjoy doing something that isn't one of my 3000 projects.

I especially find this with gaming. Its very hard to stay engaged in any game without drinking because its a "waste of my time"

Do you have access to legal cbd though? CBD is the compoung that makes you calm

I second this. I take cbd before bed because it calms my brain down enough to let me sleep. It helps a lot.

OP, if you have a store near you that sells CBD, I recommend talking with them. Many of them offer free samples as well, so you can see if it helps you.
