Health and the desire to always be aware of the world around me is my anti-drug.
I try to eat healthily when I can, try to stay in shape, and just generally be active when I can. Drugs and alcohol are at the other end of the spectrum I am working on, and thus I have no desire to use them.
Interesting side note. I've noticed that if you don't drink and it comes up during a discussion, the others are like, "Whoa! Look at that guy." I don't mind this, but it's always interesting to note.
They react as if I am trying to put myself above them by not drinking, which isn't the case at all. I just don't see the benefit, and opt not to, yet I don't hold anyone's drug or alcohol use against them in any way. They live their life, I'll live mine. But just because we have different practices doesn't mean we can't be friends.
