At the age of 36 I have no time or desire for drugs and barely any for booze. Life has enough going on without me wasting my time being wasted.
I used to smoke weed every day. I sold it for years. Did lots of acid back in the 80's too. Probably too much. Mushrooms were pretty plentiful then too. It got to a point where I was worried I was going to fry my brain permanently on LSD and then I got worried that if I did do some more, the paranoia of going crazy would set in on my trip and I'd really go crazy so...fuck that. Too scary. I think if I did another hit I would end up in a psych ward or kill someone. Seriously. I won't touch it again.
I quit smoking weed just before I met my wife. I was pretty bored of it by then. All it did was either put me to sleep or make me paranoid and it was a waste of $$$ and I didn't feel like getting busted, etc so I said fuck it. Just not worth the hassle.
Booze and me...we have a strange relationship. I drank like a fish for many years too. I believe I was borderline alcoholic. I blew so much $$$, lost some good friends and went on many crazy benders. I did lots of shit I am ashamed of and that I will never tell a soul. Finally I just put the brakes on and said "no more binges". I pretty much stopped drinking altogether and I went back to school and got my shit together. Got the killer job I have now and met my wonderful wife who I have 2 awesome kids with. Nowadays I have the occasional beer while watching wrestling or have a few at a concert ( I actually got pretty buzzed at Slayer last summer but it was a good time). Pissing it up old school just doesn't happen anymore.
I don't mean to preach coz I know most folks can go and have a good time and it's not a problem. For me it kinda was and so I stopped. I think it's a good thing I did when I did too coz when I really think about it I believe I was headed for rock fucking bottom. I've seen many friends get there and that's not somewhere I wanna be.
