I had to stop drinking 8 years ago. I stopped smoking pot over 40 years ago. My brother has been smoking it for over 50 years.

I miss a good glass of wine now and then.I don’t miss the pot one bit.

When I was young, smoking pot was fun. In the mid-80s, I started getting really anxious and paranoid when I was high. I don’t know if the dope changed or if I did, but it wasn’t fun anymore, so I quit. Now that I’m retired and drug tests are a thing of the past, I suppose I could try it again, but I’m really not interested.

The last few years I also seem to have lost interest in drinking, though I drank quite a bit back in the day. I can if I want to, I just don’t want to. Maybe every few months I’ll have a beer or a rum & coke.

Getting old, I guess.

I dumped pot in 1977. I just lost interest. Oddly, the same thing is just recently happening with alcohol. I’ve got a pretty well stocked bar but I just don’t bother with it much any more. It was just a “cool thing to have”.

I do keep Costco brand cabernet wine (boxed wine) around and will have a glass with meals from time to time. I add a dash of sugar to take the “cheap edge” off.
