Macrocosm (the original) has grown on me over the years. I used to find it a bit too tense. The artist has written a lot of very beautiful, melodic tracks and feels a bit uncompromising and out-of-place, especially on the album it was originally released on. But... no one listens to albums these days.
I can relate to a lot of what you're writing about here. Oddly I just started popping back into facebook for similar reasons, as my face-to-face life is rapidly being cancelled, and I may well start working from home next week. But facebook is grimier'n a nasty nightclub, in its ways.
So's the local recovery club, really. People've stopped holding hands at the ends of meetings, and it's easier than it used to be (most of the time) to avoid getting cigarette smoke sucked into my clothes or hair coming & going, but I reckon I might be avoiding the place. So we're sorta the opposite too, you and me, on our opposite sides of the planet. And yet... Well.
It's well worth reaching out if you are in recovery and unable to go to meetings in person for a few months. Being in lockdown is a lot tougher when you are dealing with other issues. Facebook definitely isn't perfect, though.
I am very grateful for LJ and my friends list. Even when we don't interact in comments it helps ground me to be able to read about people going about their everyday lives all over the world.
Hang overs seem so much worse now I am older. I miss the days of being hung over but being able to go about my day after a nice big english breakfast. Now I feel hung over for days.
Many people tell me they would hate the lonliness of isolation. At this time I'd be OK. Books, music, quiet and no people. I know I would eventually miss human contact.
I can understand the need for emergency rum and cigarettes. Lonely long nights always seem to call for both.

I'm glad you're out there sharing, drunk or not.
