If you had a chance to go back would you stay away from them? :unsure: [/quote]
Do I regret using drugs, absolutely not, I learned some valuable lessons from my experiences. However I do regret some of the things that happened as a result of my use. I'm not gonna tell you not to do drugs. Simply because I don't think it would work. That was why my emphasis was on responsible use.
I currently don't use illicit drugs or abuse medications, simply because the risks outweigh the benefits. I urge you all to ask yourselves if the benefits of drug use are worth the risks, if so then party on. For me I have to much at stake. I have two children who are absolutely dependent on me for their very existence, they deserve me to be the best dad that I can be. Drug use would interfere with that in many ways (it's illegal, I am subject to random drug testing at work, my car can be confiscated if i am caught with it in my car, ny children taken away etc.). I have no issues w/ people who choose to use drugs, nor do I think I am any better than them. It just simply doesn't work in my life at this point.
If I had it to do all over again, I don't know that I'd stay away from them, but I would definitely approach them differently. Knowing when enough is enough is very important, something that took me years to learn.
