Hey FDM how are you doing?
How I manage the romantic notions is to try to be honest with myself. First, I accept that I really enjoy being stoned, as it wouldn’t have become a problem if I didn’t. But, the important thing, I remind myself that the romanticised image in my head never lasts - I’ll have a few days really enjoying it and then I’ll be back to it dictating my entire life and being afraid to be without it.
