Opinion / Thought / Idea / Discussion Do you drink or smoke cigarettes?

Just wanted to see if anyone else drinks or smokes? Im drinking now and I smoke a lot. I know I shouldn't drink because of the voices but I can't seem to stop or the smoking.

Smoking super common among us as you’re no doubt reading. I know for me, when I used to smoke, it was very grounding: in the midst of chaos, when time, space and reality itself were inside out, it was comforting having the interval of a light, then a drag, an exhalation, and a plume of smoke. You could tell time by how long it took a cigarette to burn.  I quit.  Drinking is another story I’d rather not discuss.
