Life, Drugs and self-destruction

[Meerie]

Haha, Blatz, I like your stream-of consciousness posting! Nice.
I seem to be lucky, since drugs do not really work for me... never experienced any effects to pot and if I drink too much alcohol I usually get really depressed, so that does not work either.
I smoke but then if I spend a weekend at a non-smokers house I just skip it. No problem.
I saw a movie about some guy who had been heavily drug-addicted (heroin) to the point it almost killed him. He substituted the drugs by running. He is now a marathon runner.
it seems addiction is a personality trait and if you want to lose drug addiction you have to substitute it with something else. Maybe it is just an extreme approach to life, like seeing how far you can go with your body. Testing your limits.
