Starter class worth it?

I’ve been wanting to get into stained glass for a while but have been dreading the starter expenses. I feel like I should take a class but the only one in my city is $120 for one session. Then id still have to pay ~$300 for a starter kit and glass. Im wondering if it’s worth dropping the $120 or if just getting everything on my own and using YouTube to learn will suffice. Thoughts?

Relapsing bc of night withdrawals

Every time I try and quit the withdrawals are awful during the night to the point where I relapse just for the sake of sleeping. The insomnia often keeps me up for the entire night, and if I do manage to sleep I only have vivid nightmares. I have consistent hot/cold sweats asleep and have to change often in the middle of the night. I either wake up sleep deprived or depressed from the bad dreams. Everything else about quitting feels good to me, I just can’t get past this. The longest I made it was about 1.5 months and it never got better. Anyone have suggestions? (Plz no meditation or screen time hocus pocus, i just need something that helps during the difficult period so that I have a better chance at being able to do this :/

Potential trafficking scheme?

I was at the beach tonight in the James Bay Area when i noticed a man filming me. Creeped out I decided to go much further along the coast and was there for about 10 minutes until the other people in the area left and i saw him right behind me filming me again. I got the f out of there and as I walked home I saw the same car slowly drive back and forth past me 3 times. Wouldn’t leave until i walked into a public building. I am new to the area and not sure if it was just a bad coincidence or something serious to look out for while being here- is this sort of thing common or out of the ordinary for Victoria?
