I have thought about it but he's a stubborn individual. It wouldnt do any good, and he's previously told me not to be "one of those guys that count days". He's the type thinks we've all got something we do that's flawed and that drinking and smoking weed is ours. He has said, "It's not like were not doing crystal meth or shooting heroin like our other cousins". He just doesn't want to hear it and I just kind of know this about him. His train of thought is getting kind of old to me.

My friends accepting it just kind of came with time. At first they were sort of like my cousin and always nagging me to drink. They sort of just stopped bothering with it because at the end of the day I guess they realize its my choice. Ive known these friends since I was a kid, we all grew up together. I wish my cousin could just accept it like they did without throwing the guilt trip out there.
