It's always nice to see old friends, even for the first time. It's completely understandable why some of us are confused, after all these are confusing times. My two cents is that I try to look as inward as I'm looking outward. When I'm anxious or scared, I try to cut back on the caffeine and other stuff. Understand that going straightedge and sober is a weapon and shield in the fight for reality. It's an assertion of independence and responsibility for the health of the community. You don't have to pretend it's easy. The more veils we see through, the more we want to numb it, but trust me you'll want all your senses available for what happens next. Hold your breath it gets better.
Five minutes ahead of schedule...
