SUBSTANCE
Now, I want to talk about this word.
What do you consider a substance?
Cocaine? Heroin? Meth?Weed? Alcohol? Steroids? LSD? Ecstacy?
The opinions vary I’m sure, but what constitutes it being a substance?
The ability to abuse it?
Well in that case do money, food, and power also fall into the "substance" category?
Wether you drink to remember, smoke to forget, eat a half pound burger just to make yourself feel better, or shoot up to make yourself aware...you are falling vivtim.
I am guilty of turning to substance to put myself in a different mindset, usually a way to help me forget.
The question is, when and how do you know that you have begun to ABUSE it?
When plans you’ve made change in order to squeeze in a few beers?
When you won’t hang out with your girlfriend when she drinks, but she needs to accept that you can do whatever you please whenever you please and just deal with it?
When your reason for words coming out of your mouth is because you were "fucked up"?
When you’re ill and think that smoking a drug that has immense healing properties might make you feel better?
When do you cross the line of user to abuser?
