So why did you give it up? (sincere question)
Enjoyed it way too much. Was using more and more, to escape life. Path to addiction, personality based. Substance didn't matter, I found out later. Alcohol took its place, and slowly almost killed me. Definitely destroyed my life.
Recovered addict and alcoholic, for many years now. Thanks to AA. I hit NA too. Now I work directly with others who are ready. And pass on the message to anyone interested. Drives me bonkers when people blame it on lack of will power or demons (double facepalm). They know absolutely nothing.
But I have nothing against most substances, including weed and alcohol. Hard to find a "social crack smoker," for instance.
