I could never rationalise taking cocaine or other drugs like I can with alcohol. I always knew that was some bad ****. But alcohol, god, we're bombared with all these reasons to drink. All these social signs and cues that it's good for us, that its heathy even. And I think that goes someway to ******* us up. We have this brainwashed vision that its good no matter what, no matter how terrible it makes us feel. I guess again, there goes my addiction speaking..Like I said, its a scary thing

I'm just saying that no matter how much or how well you rationalize or how much you grow comfortable understanding the mechanics of this illness...nothing will replace the realization of how this works better than the action you put into actually doing it. If someone had just told me that 20 years ago-you know...hindsight ...blah blah blah.
I'm just tryin to save you some pain bro.
