So.. old habits meaning drugs. I smoke cigarettes (Marlboros please and there is no such thing as "quitting," you either do smoke or you don't. People that are "non-smokers" smoke too sometimes. So what of that?) and drink alcohol like it's water on occasion, but those don't count as drugs to me. (I don't really smoke cigarettes anymore because they're bad for you, but I do love them, but sometimes I'm on the fence because they disgust me. I'm a very fickle minded person. Before a week ago of my jilting I hadn't bought my own pack for almost 4 months and I only smoke when inebriated but often I don't smoke or it's just a drag and not a whole cigarette. It depends, but most of the time I don't smoke. I'm practically not labeled in the category of smoker anymore, unfortunately) I have a slight substance abuse problem.
I said slight. It only means when I start, most times I don't want to stop. But let's all face the cold, hard real facts; drugs are great. No? Hahaha YES. And I'm young. I know the detriments and harmful adverse effects. For me it isn't a phase, just merely experimentation and I like to be sober and clean. (No really, I do assholes) But I do like to have fun once in a while and why shouldn't I be able to and I do know that I should not do drugs. My body is not the type to withstand drugs. I don't exactly how the strongest body physically in terms of immunity and I was born with a heart murmur but thankfully it closed up on it's own once I hit my adolescence. But if it was strong as an ox like most people I so admire, then I would definitely live it up. But unfortunately, for some odd reason, my body is not strong enough and I get the worst comedowns which is the reason why I'm kind of over drugs now. Not to mention I have a huge conscience, so it makes me feel bad afterwards and sort of guilty.
It's hard to explain. And if I could smoke cigarettes without it harming my body, I would be a chain smoker. But they are bad for me and you. I have experimented with the obvious, marijuana, and others such as ecstasy, coke, and on one occasion I railed xanax, but does that really count as a drug? I just like to rail stuff. I don't like weed at all, I don't like the way it makes me feel. It makes me feel slow and stupid and I don't like how it trips me out. I get very paranoid when I don't have immediate mobility to my body. And it screws with my vision; I hate when I can't see clearly. I haven't done coke in a while, but if it was around I probably would. But I don't like the comedown because of the tweak I can't sleep afterwards and I don't like the body high. Mostly these days I just do E occasionally. But when I do too much in a night, I get the worst come downs. If I'm not well rested before or if it's three or more pills a night, (Mind you I don't do it often, it's probably once a month or once every few months but even that I am trying to stop) then when I get up too quickly from sitting, I black out for a moment and faint. Just for a moment. It is bad and I hate it. And my body feels terrible and unwell and I want to throw up because maybe that would make me feel better, but it doesn't and I don't smoke weed to make me feel better because I don't like weed. And I can't sleep so it's a terrible feeling and I feel out of sorts for the whole day. And I hate the fact that I wasted all that time doing drugs because it's so highly unproductive and I hate feeling unproductive. It makes me feel like shit. Again it's a conscience thing. That is the reason why I don't want to do drugs anymore.
But after all that said. I really am over drugs. I don't want to do it anymore. I like being clean and sober. It's a good feeling. It makes me feel good. I'm tired of doing stupid shit all the time. Because it's not me; it's not who I am. I feel like I'm over it and maybe it's the whole growing up thing. I feel like there is just so much more than that. I'm old enough (fuck, we're all old enough) to be able to filter out who and what I want in my life and who and what I don't want in my life. And I feel like I've been doing a pretty good job, but I know there is always a grey area because as shitty and as cliche as it sounds. life is fucking messy. For me it was never a phase. I believe in trying things because it is your life and you only live once, but try and never get caught up in it. Sometimes I feel like I'm living too much in the fast lane and it scares me. Too fast and I might disappear or drift away. Bad things happen all the time and I have the worst luck. I've done way too much stupid shit to think if I continue to do it that I can make it out unscathed. Sometimes i figure what the hell and I just don't care. So I end up doing it again and then I kick myself in the ass asking myself why did I do it. It's because sometimes I just don't give a shit. Do the extreme to feel alive right? To escape from reality. It's such a cowardly thing, but it's true.
All this brings me to the fact that I may be dropping once again soon with friends as a last tribute hurrah. But I don't really want to take E. I want to be there because it will be a big group of good people who are my friends, but I would more so rather drink. I mean I have already made sure I'm good and ready, but I don't know. I probably will end up doing it, but even as I'm typing all this down, it's bringing back feelings of why I want to run away from drugs and never do anything again. I don't know. I guess I'll just have to see when the time comes. I often envy people with strong bodies because they can take so much without having adverse effects, but as healthy as I am, I still can't because of the bad resulting effects drugs leave on me. It all makes me feel physically awful, sometimes even cigarettes make me feel like shit. I don't think my body is cut out to consume drugs. It's sad, but maybe it's a good thing too because who knows how I would end up if I were one of those people I am envious of. I don't think I would be so proud of myself then. And as I've said, I like the fact that I seem to be breaking away from this drug realm or that I have a strong desire to be rid of it all. It makes me feel good and isn't that what's important in growth development and significant to me trying to be a better person or more so the best person I can be?
