Who's with me?!

Either my life has become really fun or really sad. I'll let you know which it is later.

Im not a drinker. Sorry cant help you with this one.

Pot man huh? You crazy former republicans.

Nope, dont do that any more ether.

What, the bible? Jesus can't get you fucked up.

Speaking of your former republicaness. How do we convert republicans to democrats?

Actually its my kids, family, life itself, many things keep me going through out the day. I will admit though, once in awhile, when I am with the fellas, I might do a little green here or there.


It was a long process better served by direst questions.

Ive totally abstained all my life. MY drug of choice, coffee. (sorry MM)

I hope it's really fun, Jack. Really sad can turn into really ugly in a flash. I speak from experience.

Keep up the good fun Jack, and one day you'll look back and wish you'd been playing bingo at an old folks home all day instead. It's that bad.

I think it has turned into sad very quickly I did something really stupid last night. I wasn't drunk any more, i had sobered up hours earlier, but for some reason(i'm not too sure why) it encouraged me to give up drinking for awhile. I also realized that it is really holding me back from doing certain things. I have already dumped out all of the liquor that was in my apartment. I've been sober for 24 hours.

My experience has always been that while I am drinking, I can't have a bad time. Everything is groovy and fun.
But when I stop drinking, because it's the end of the day, or the next day, then there's the let down.
The sober realization that unless I am slightly drunk, or high, I can't be happy like that. And this can make you profoundly sad. Sad enough that this quest for happy colors your life.

I used to be a stoner. I smoked a bowl before I got out of bed in the AM or when ever. I smoked all day, and I had a bong hit in bed before I went to sleep, Nearly every day of my life for about 15 years.

Then one day I had an epiphany. I realized that my life was not progressing. That though I was getting older, I had nothing to show for it. I realized that for a persons life to change and progress, sometimes we're sposed to be scared shitless about how are we gonna deal with this or that. Before that, something was an issue, I'd have a toke, and then it just didn't seem that important anymore.

I'm not saying this is you or your life Jack. And I've never been a big drinker so I don't know for sure if drinkers drink for the same reasons that I smoked. But I suspect they do. The reason I wrote all this personal shit out for you (and anybody reading this) is to give you something to think about. I am not preaching anything. I am instead, providing you with something to think about and how it may or may not relate to you and your story.


In short, dig your life jack, because this is it. This is all you get, and it's over way to quickly!

Don't worry sky, drinking doesn't affect my life too much. In fact i don't actually drink that often, probably less than most people my age. I bet for the last few years i average getting drunk about once every 5 weeks or so. I have no desire to become a burnout or a drunk. Usually after i drink or smoke i am set for awhile. I hate drinking several times a weeks, you feel like shit. I usually get drunk or high to relax and help me straighten out my thoughts, kind of reflect on what has been happening.

For now, I am set though. I probably won’t be drinking for a long time.

Actually Jack, I wasn't worried about you at all.
Because you do have an open mind, and you don't have any problem with being introspective.
