I still do things like going out at the club sometimes, working full time, i'm doing pretty well since i'm not noticing any difference in symtoms when i'm drinking. There are always stuff to do to get by, being sober at a party actually isn't that bad, spending time with your friends really helps. And get yourself occupied for gods sake, work, workout, play videogames etc. etc. Right now i feel like hppd doesn't have a big place in my life, it's just a background nuisence. But of course i go to bed every night hoping that i will become hppd-free, i am also thinking about meds since i'm soon passing the 1 year line.
So basically, fuck the dope in all of its shapes, you can have a terrific time without them.
