Hey peeps hope you’re all well and good. Hope it’s been a good week, weekend, day, evening, etc for yous.
In today’s blog I want to talk about something personal to me. Something I want to get back to for a while and that’s going back to being straight edge.
Now I’m not saying everyone should be. You do you peeps. Just be careful. Alcohol, weed or any drugs can be a gateway to addictions that could fuck you over if you’re not careful. Just be balanced. Nothing wrong with weed or booze. Just overkill it you know. It’s like too much chocolate or cake. Too much can make you overweight and unhealthy. That’s all. You all do what you feel comfortable for you peeps.
Now I got that out of the way, let me tell you why I am going back to being straight edge/drug free.
It pretty much from experience in the past. I saw a lot of ppl I grew up with either got unhealthy over time & were never the same. And two of my family members, my uncles died from alcohol addictions. I never had a drink of booze til I was 16 (when I was a pure wreak due to my mental breakdowns from getting bullied) and had a two year binge drinking spree that pretty much made things worse and lost control. I lost a lot. Loss my job, a few friends, my gf at the time, butted heads with my family and all that. I was almost about to be an alcoholic like my uncles and I went to this project group to help me out getting another job. It was for ppl who were mentally unwell and have addiction problems. That place opened my eyes as well as the passing of my uncles. My first one was when I was a kid and learned later he was an alcoholic. My second uncle passed when I was 24. He couldn’t beat his addictions and I saw through him & the ppl in the project group I was at that I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to drink, smoke cigs/weed or do drugs. Be clean living for good. Til I was 29 and had a drink in moderation rule. I drink but not to get drunk.
In reality I hated it. I was drinking to fit in with ppl. I stop being myself to please ppl cause I’m a loner for the last few years and I was pretending something I was not. I hated it so I’ve stopped for good. Cause I’m happy being sober and being surrounded by ppl who are sober too. That’s me. I prefer the more easygoing life. I hate being in clubs or pubs cause it reminds me of those good ppl that were my uncles & the friends I made from the groups that unfortunately lost their lives due to not beating their addictions. It made me look at the booze, ppl going “oh I’m going to booze my ass off” and all that with either concern or pity. I don’t want to be that since that’s not me.
I love being easygoing and clean. I have family and friends. They drink but I don’t judge them for it. I still go to pubs with them and that. Even though I don’t like those places. I still go with them since yeah their good folk and I want to have a good time like the next person. But I’m not going to be under pressure to “have a drink” or “light up to get high” cause that’s not me. I know it’s made me an outcast and a loner for almost my adult life but I rather please myself than please ppl who disagree with me you know. I learned that now. Ppl should like me for me. Only for me as I like them for them you know.
And I’m more happy these days due to a lot of things and one of them is cause I’m straight edge. It doesn’t mean I’m better than you lol. It means you’re substance free, you’re drug free and you’re 💯 clean from things that’ll screw you over if you’re not careful. I’m happy that I’m myself again.
This is not me telling yous to do the same thing. Yous do you. I just want yous to be happy and be in a good place in your life. I will say if you are doing booze, weed & drugs to fit in with the crowd then it’s for the wrong reasons & u should stay away from ppl who just want you be an addict. Than like/love you for who you are whatever if you’re straight edge or not. If you are doing weed/booze in moderation then that’s fine. No harm there. Again it’s your life. More power to you.
I just give yous hints, advice and my opinion. It’s up to yous what to do with it. Now I want is ppl to be cool with themselves and each other. Theirs too much negativity and drama that’s getting ridiculous. I’m talking from experience. Do what you will, you know what I mean? It’s your life. You know yourself. But not let the pressure of others cloud your judgement. You do you. Self love and all that, it’s all up to yous at the end of the day. I just want yous to be happy. Nothing more, nothing less! 😊👍🏻
Anyway thank you for reading this blog. Hope it helps you out peeps. No matter what you do and are. Do you. As long as you don’t harm yourself & others. It’s all good. 😊 Anyway cheers again peeps, yous are the best. Til the next blog this is KungFury saying take care, much love and look out for yourselves & each other!! 🤘🏻
