of vicodin and alcohol

[drunkensailor]

I think I am developing an addiction to the both of them. I use both, heavily, on practically a nightly basis, like ritual. I even catch myself looking forward to it during the slow, boring, dry days. I really don't see this habit changing anytime soon

It's kind of like how they teach you in elementary school that drugs are the worst thing in the world, but they don't even really tell you what drugs are. They tell you weed is bad but again, no reason. Just because it's illegal? I think a lot of things get built up and then turn out to be disappointing but we do them anyway. I mean, how could anything ever live up to the hype its given in school? Take sex for example. Sex is great, but the way it's talked about before you've done it, it's like it's supposed to be some life-changing religious experience. Vicodin is fun, and that's what they don't tell you when you're a kid. They don't tell you that there is a reason people do drugs. You think they're just this thing that bad people do because they're bad, like how in movies the bad guy is always evil just to be evil, and you wonder why anyone would be evil when good always wins.

It's because being evil is fun.

For a while.

(agreeing with you)

I'd ask a villain but they usually just die off by the end of the movie anyway.

Regardless, agreed on all fronts. Even more impressive is that for a lot of the things you listed, not only does nobody ever teach why anything is bad, but people like educators and lawmakers don't really seem to know real reasons themselves. Awesome.

If I were to become a drug addict, I would probably have to side with codeine. I remember one time it was prescribed to me when I got my wisdom teeth out, but I didn't need it because my mouth didn't hurt at all.

..I taped a few tablets in my journal and wrote something like "in case of worst day ever, take this"

The end.

Haha, I think that's great. Everybody should have something that makes them feel awesome discovered and stashed away for their worst day ever.
