Is there anything more boring/depressing

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

Im the same these days, drink for taste with meals, never to get totally altered by it anymore. I love being straight I enjoy the time difference overall, straight seems to stretch out time longer.

Funny though, when I'm watching a good western I sometimes have a straight shot along with them.

Shit. You get into the mood, don't you?


As for me. I've used my fair share of drugs. But I made a promise to myself before hand to control myself. I set a limit on myself.

I started out with marijuana. Smoked a bit of that. Once a month at the most. Then I got my job at an old folks home, and they drug tested. Thankfully for me, the once a month restriction kept me on the straight side. It wasn't even a problem to quit smoking. I haven't smoked since October of 2010.

Drank a bit to replace weed. Once a month. I'm tired of it, now, and I haven't gotten shit faced since Christmas.

And I'm 17. If I can do it, anybody can.

You should not be doing it in the first place, stupid to start.

I've dabbled and I know myself. I had to stop everything - drinking included because - guess what - I really enjoyed the drugs I took. I spend enough money on make-up let alone getting another habit.

I liked it too much and could how I could easily let the feelings it gave me become addictive.

Addiction was never an issue for me, I proved that by totally quitting for 13 years. As for drugs, I was never too big into them, I basically just "outgrew" them, plus as I became a family man I didn't want to have drugs in my possession or around my wife and kids. I also didn't like the feeling that I was doing something, illegal or criminal.

I enjoyed the hell out of it when I did it too. Fact of the matter is that I never used it to deal with stress. No matter how much I enjoyed myself, I was always sure to stay true to my principals.


Somebody mentioned that hard times have yet to come, well they've been around. There was a time when I'd work 40 hour weeks while going to school, and that was a stress overload after about six months.

And now I'm going through a rough patch. I totalled my car last month, and I have to work, go to school, as well as participating in extracurricular activities. I'm not getting another car until I pay for it with my own money, and pay for my own insurance. So it'll be about a year. I leave home at 6:40 in the morning every morning, and don't quit working until I'm home at 8 that night. My life is good, but it's not easy.

I might be seventeen, but I've got ambitions that are above my own standards, and I'm always outdoing myself. It's a pain in my ass, but I don't know how to not do it.

That being said, no matter how rough shit has gotten for me, I've never looked at doing drugs more than once a month as an option.

It's willpower. All you have to do is apply yourself. It can be the hardest thing in the world for some people because addiction is a powerful monster, but it just has to be done. Such is life.

Some people die before they beat their addictions. My grandfather is an alcoholic, and he's been an alcoholic for so long that I don't think he remembers what it's like to live life without it.

But we don't know. We don't know what it's like to be any of these people. Nobody teaches moderation, do they? Moderation is absolutely key for this type of shit. We as a society label things as 'bad' when they're not bad. They simply need to be controlled.

If you eat McDonalds once a week, you'll be alright. McDonalds is bad for you if you eat it every day.

If you drink in moderation, you'll be alright. When you get shitfaced every night, that's when it becomes unhealthy.

and unfortunately since it's not taught, often times it becomes the sort of thing where you're either 100% without the shit, or you're 100% addicted and fucked.
