If that dose is still there after a month, you can talk all you want about "mind over matter."

I suppose I'm just trying to point out that initiating an addiction is retarded, but being addicted *is* a condition that is very hard to just up and drop.
If I ever would shoot up once I'll bet my ass I'd never do it again. I'm the most judgemental asshole the face of the planet, and I'm 100x harder on myself than I'd ever be to anyone else.

Shortly after High school I began to drink. Never did before. I figured that I'd have some fun. Well, as it turns out I like, check that, love the taste of alcohol. I drank like a fish for a little while. Anything I could get I drank it, and drank a lot of it. All of my friends told me I was an alcoholic. I said that I could quit any time I wanted. They all said that's what alcoholics say. They just didn't get it. One day I had reality smack me upside my dumb fucking head. Here's the story: I was over a friends house with a bunch of people I graduated with. BTW, I hung out with the biggest pothead drug-addict alcoholics in my school, and never did anything with them until I drank after graduation.. Never tried drugs, and never will. Anyway, everyone was all fucked up. I was drinking a bottle of whiskey, and as I took a chug from my bottle a friend made a comment. He said that they all liked me a lot better when I was drunk because I acted like them..... I looked around the room and realized I didn't want to be like them. I was better and smarter than all of those losers. I left and didn't drink a thing for a long time. I would only drink about 2 or 3 times a year after that, and now I gave it up completely. As it turns out they all still live at home and don't work. They always have been losers and always will be. For as much as I drank it was easy for me to quit. I didn't stuggle when I did it either. From that day forward I have always/will always see people with addictions as weak people. It's a fact. Another fact is I'm not weak! I'm waaay stronger than any drug. I stand by my opinion. I could never get addicted to anything even if the shit was injected in my body. As I already stated. It's mind over matter, and my mind is more powerful than any drug.
