Well I hope your having as much fun as I am. This week has been a recovery and detox week hehe. Actually I think I kept it pretty low key on the weekend and after the parade. I do not drink that often and I do not do any kind of recreational drugs.
A lot of people are surprised when I tell them this. They cannot understand how I can enjoy myself with other supplements. I suppose that I have never done them in the first place and so it is easier to say no. There is A LOT of pressure out there to indulge.
The problem is that I have seen too many people around me loose control of their lives because of drugs. They loose their sense of what is a good time. Taking drugs it seems gives you an inflated and unrealistic impression of what a good time is. People around me go out. Have a pill. Get high, and then spend the rest of the night chasing that high and trying to maintain it.
I have lost count of the number of times I have heard someone around me say
"this is crap I need a pill".
I guess everyone will have a different take on this but I am proud of my track record so far. I have been able to resist this long but I have to say that I have been tempted on more than one occasion.
All this begs the question, why?
Why don't I want to try drugs just to see what its like.
Well the reason is this. I don't like the idea of not being in control of my own body. There are too many things that can go wrong. It's like smoking. It hurts your body so why would I do it?
Same with drinking too much. I have fun but I hate the idea of going out and not being able to remember what I have done or waking up after passing out and not knowing what has happened to me.
I see it happening all the time.
Problem is...
Some people wear it like a badge of honor.
"Oh my god, I got so munted last night I don't remember a thing hahahahah"
Each to their own I suppose. I can get through the Mardi Gras Parade with $30 and 2 bottles of Gatorade and still have an amazing time. I don't need them.
Anyways... what are your thoughts on it? Have you taken drugs? Have you met someone who has lost control?
