I'm done with drugs and alcohol

[Tenet Nosce]

Godwide- I agree. Which is why I put "artificially induced" and "escape from reality" in the quotes. To signify that these are phrases people use when discussing the topic, but that I question the objective validity of said phrases. What is "artificial"? What is "reality"? Hardly something which can be easily summarized to the satisfaction of all parties.

As a side note, I wish there were multiple kinds of quote thingies because they are used for so many divergent purposes that it ends up causing a lot of confusion!
