Which is precisely why I want to stray away from these posts just a little bit. I don't want anyone going out and developing serious addiction issues because they read about the drug on my steemit. I am of the belief though that any substance can be beneficial is used correctly, even opiates.

How about posting some stuff about things you have done that are nonpsychoactive in nature? Have you done this?

I have a little bit, just not very in depth. I have plans to delve deeper into it though.

Out of curiosity, what has helped. Is there something you could try that might help, but are avoiding cause it's scary or requires work? Most of the solutions to my problems fall under that catagory.

Exposure. Exposure. Exposure. As for the avoidance, that's actually something I want to dedicate a whole post to, so stay tuned.
