I'll also give you some reasons as to why I am against drug/alcohol use sooo much. See, all my friends got hooked on drugs once we got into High School. I didn't really give a crap back then cause they were my friends. Now we're all around 26, give or take a year or two, and all of them still live at home. Don't have jobs and do absolutely nothing with their lives, but somehow they find a way to get cash for their drugs and booze. WTF! It's time to grow up. I was no saint either. I never did any drugs, but I did drink heavily for a little over a year right after I got out of high school. I mean heavily too. I wasn't a beer drinker. I liked hard alcohol. Give me a bottle of whiskey and it would be gone in about an hour. I drank the shit like water. I never liked to get drunk. I actually hated that feeling, but I really loved the taste of booze, and still do. I just choose not to drink. I will admit that I do drink about 2 or 3 three times a year, but only on a special occasion and I don't get drunk. Also, I won't say it's not hurting my body cause it is. It kills brain cells and damages my liver every single time I take a sip of the shit. There's nothing good about it. Anyway, I drank so much that all my druggie/drunk friends told me I was gonna be an alcoholic. I always laughed and told them I could quit any time I wanted cause I'm not the type of person to get addicted to anything. Of course they said that's what all alcoholics say. I proved them all wrong. I remember the day/minute I quit. I was at a friends drinking a bottle of whiskey back in October of 96 at about 11:37 pm and the 10 people in the house all made the statement that they liked me much better when I was drunk because I acted just like them........ I quit that second, I handed the rest of my bottle over to a friend of mine, walked out the door and didn't have a drink for 2 years, and stopped hanging out with them because I decided I wasn't going to be like them. I'm much better off today because of what I did that day.
On to the drugs. I have had personal experiences with people that piss me off to the point that I wish I could beat some sense into them. A friend of mine that I work with has a serious drug problem. You name it and he's doing it. Plus he drinks on top of that. He has a young child. He has tried to commit suicide twice and both times his boy saw it. The most recent was not too long ago. He hung himself, for a second time in just a few years, this time right in front of his boy. Almost died both times. As luck would have it people just happened to come over and get help to save his life. This last time he was in the hospital and I went to see him. I told him that he needed to get some help cause he had a kid and it was time to grow up. He threw his tray of food on me and spit in my face. I fucking lost it and punched him in his fucking nose and broke it. I'm not proud of what I did, but I know I'd do it again if I was ever in that situation. I damn near went to jail that night, but my friend didn't want to press charges, lucky for me. So it took along time to get the nurses calmed the hell down so they would just let it slide. The sad part is he is a drug addict, so is he ex, and his and her parents. Do you really think that this child has a chance? Dude, it's a fucking never ending cycle and he himself is a perfect example of my point. It's hard to rise up and be better than your parents. Not many people do it. We are a product of our environment, and if we all grew up under the same situations as this child I'd bet that almost all of us would turn out to be drug addicts.
Now I know you're gonna say he's fucked up and not everyone is like that, but I could name you so many other things damn near as bad as that. All dudes that I either work with or that I was friends with at some point in time. I just don't have the time to type out all the fucked up situations I've experienced with fucking drug addicts. I have never had a positive experience with anyone who uses drugs.... And I never will. It's impossible.
