I often feel down on myself for not trying harder at my own job because I spend time here. But now I realized that I consider this my second job now, despite not getting paid.
In the near future, my job will be to ease a lot of confused people into their new reality. All of this research and cave-dwelling serve a purpose.
But yes, regulate the vices! I eased off enough so that I CAN'T drink more than 4-5 beers or I feel awful the next morning. Start later, alternate with water…all the little things. We've all got work ahead of us!
