@misscalico I had to quit alcohol suddenly in March and my brain is still recalibrating - I'm not suggesting it's perfectly analogous, but it sounds normal that you'd occasionally get cravings and miss those hits (pun sorta intended 😉)
@misscalico If it doesn't involve secretly googling the names of bands everyone else seems to be talking about, technically it's not mid-life! But that doesn't make it any less crisisy or sucky for you, I know :( Be kind to yourself & remember: 'this too shall pass'.
