That's a temporary setback, if any.

The only lasting problem that I've been able to find is that my mind will
be going down the bunny trail just fine and then my train of thought
totally evaporates and I go dead stop and "reboot".

Just seems that the older I get, the more sense it makes not to do sh*t. I
enjoy the effects, but I don't want to deal with the side effects.

And I really hate alcohol.
