Great question. I have pondered this one many times. I started drinking/smoking pot at the age of 14. But I never really spun out of control until I reached the age of 39. But prior to that I worked, raised children (Clean and sober for both pregnancies, and then didn't have any alcohol in the house for thier first 12 years).
So what did that mean? I stopped growing at 14, started again at 26, and then stopped again at 39?
Oh it's too much...I'm going to bed.
Nigh, nigh...
