It's basically a Christian philosophy that says there's more to life than getting drunk and smoking pot. I don't want to sound too moralistic because I've done plenty of both, but I think you eventually have to move on and grow up.
That is, until your kids move out.
Hmmm Assumptions... Who said adolescence is about those things?
Maybe your experience with adolescence was keggers and a beer bong with the boys but mine was traveling and learning an growing (both mentally and physically.)
Yea, I had a beer or two and even tried pot once but for me it was adventure; seeing what was over the horizon and experiencing everything I could.
You can have your adulthood and if you are insinuating I am not Christian enough because I shun growing old of the mind, so be it.
However, I guarantee I am one happy fella and lived a hell of a life. Few regrets and lots of great memories.
