Your brain needs to heal
I think the anxiety, euphoria, or laziness caused by drugs or alcohol eventually seeps into your psyche and convinces you that’s who you are.
How many people do you know identify as stoners, alcoholics, or drug addicts?
Thats who they are… they joke about it, live it everyday as if that shouldn’t tell them that this is who they are. Some are proud of it even and then that’s who they become. And its sad. If you drink everyday that’s a part of you. If you do drugs everyday that’s a part of you. Same as going to the gym or going to work. More so even because you’re escaping maybe.
That pattern has to stop before it becomes permanent. I’ve already lead down that path far too far. And I better become much more intellectual, quiet, and strong before it’s too late.
I think being a real bad ass is actually being the best person you can be and not some guy that drinks or does drugs. Thats a real badass. You can have a drink - but you should never get drunk. You shouldn’t joke about bad behaviors. It makes you look like a peasant. I want to live my life from now on - and it better start now before it’s too damn late.
