Woke up hungover and in a bit of a panic. I broke my one rule with drugs. No blacking out. I'm afraid i didn't get weed the night before like I intended. My wallet was empty but no sign of my pipe or stash. But my scented candle was light! So I knew I had been smoking last night. Finally find the weed and its of excellent quality. Covered in purple crystals. Check my liquor stash and find out that I drank on the order of 3 beers and a fifth the night before! That means I'm probably still drunk!
I'm feeling like shit. Used to happen to me all the time a few months ago. Trying to remember what I used to do in this situation as I don't get hangovers much anymore. I used to chew tobacco and drink coffee while I watched the Weather Channel with my roommate. We did this almost every morning for months. Something about the Weather Channel and its peaceful music go well with the feelings of self-loathing that accompany a hangover.
So I sit and smoke my purple weed and watch the Weather Channel. Don't even know why I couldn't give a damn about the weather at the moment. I microwave some hot wings and eat about half of them. Why do I do this to myself? Time to test the hair of the dog theory. I grab a bottle of New Amsterdam gin which is the smoothest liquor I've got right now unfortunately. A sip of gin and a bowl hit later no improvement. I've got another hour to kill or so then I'll take a benzo and hopefully be on the other side of things. I think if you have a morning drink then you shouldn't have a morning benzo too or you won't wake up properly.
So as I look at the clock I've been awake for over an hour. Still haven't killed the hangover. To me the hangover is a necessary part of the experience of drinking. I need some time where I'm forced to think about why I drink so much. All these thoughts are running through my head. I'm way too young to be an alcoholic. Or an addict of any kind for that matter. Why did I let this happen? Am I fucked for life? How fucked up is my health now and how fucked up is it gonna be?
So basically 3 hours past and I'm mostly over it. I'm out of what I consider "hangover" territory and more in the after-effects territory. My hangover cure of alcohol, diet coke, benzos, and purple weed worked pretty well. Still got a long way to go of course but the critical part is over. So that's a day in my hungover life. And it's definitely not worth a making a shitty movie about.
