Ahh... filters
I now know that I must filter all comments made to my entries. Please don't get angry if your comments aren't posted right away.
Side note... Uhm, I don't like being on people's shit list, esp friends, but, hey, I don't flame your shit so why would you flame mine? .. please rethink who should be angry, which I just don't care to be right now. I have better outlets for anger than on friends, not that I am an angry dude. Sometimes, even I can be too mellow for my own good.
Anyway...
Absinthe...
I'll be honest. I have never smoked pot, did cocaine, LSD, PCP, Ecstasy, heroine, or any other drug beyond alcohol. I don't care if you think that is uncool.
I am not against people who have done it or do it on occasion, but I do have issues with people who have a dependance on those substances to escape their pointless, stagnant, or depressed lives.
Is Absinthe drinking going to be a good experience? I am not sure it is for me, esp with possible drug testing in the future and work the following day. Normally, drinking would be fun, but I feel I have had enough for a while too. If something really amazing happens in my life (which is possible and possibly going to happen soon), then I will indulge in standard alcohol. If it doesn't happen, I'll probably start drinking again in several weeks or so. For now, I am abstaining from alcohol.
Do I have a dependence on alcohol?
Hmmm.. Not sure. I don't drink alone, and I rarely drink more than I can tolerate. I don't drink every weekend, but I do enjoy the taste of many types of alcohol. I have gone on long breaks from alcohol, some lasting several months. A full year without alcohol would be difficult for me, I would have to admit.
So, unfortunately, I guess that means yes. Not a super yes, but enough to not be proud of.
According to psych, it becomes severe if you use substances alone, at least every time your body requires a "fix" to avoid DT, and / or your intake has increased significantly to receive the same affect, AKA tolerance. Also, some people use alcohol to "self-medicate" like, they can't interact socially or such without an "inhibition remover." ..the old.. I can't write good music without being high. Honestly, thinking like this is wrong and requires SERIOUS help, like, medication and a lot of therapy.
Besides that, I really didn't experience anything truly significant on Wednesday. Work was FEH. So I propose to you:
To ponder:
Do you have a dependence on alcohol? Can you see yourself never drinking again? How about taking a break for 1 year, 6 months, 1 month, 2 weeks?
