Somehow

No matter how bad a situation is, there's always a way to make it worse. This is especially true when I'm involved in any way whatsoever, and even more so if emotions are involved. This one was completely my fault, I don't seek to shirk blame or anything. There are, unfortunately, two prejudices that no matter how hard I try to shake I just can't.

You know it's actually much more consolation than you think to know that someone else feels the same way! To say "all" my friends are like that is an exaggeration - hell you feel the same way I do so I can hardly say all on that basis alone! But it does feel like all, or certainly most, a lot of the time.

I guess I'm just sick of being demonised for being anti-drugs. It gets very frustrating sometimes. My thinking though is the same as yours - if I don't do everything I can to persuade them to quit, if something does happen then I'll have myself to blame for not doing enough. Something like a localisation of "all that evil requires in order to prosper is that good men do nothing" or something along those lines (no pun intended). I'm a born debater, so the notion of not carrying out an argument to its conclusion is hard for me to get my head around really!

So actually yeah, it's a huge consolation to know I'm not alone! I do care about them, so much, and it's ridiculous to suggest that I'm not or shouldn't be concerned when they take risks like that. Yeah, drugs only affect you, but if something happens and you OD or something that affects a hell of a lot more people besides you. I wish those saying "its only me it affects" would consider that even for a moment... :/
