I ruined my life.

I'm gonna go ahead and say you (referring to people in general, not necessarily -Spector-) can do drugs and drink alcohol and not ruin your life, so the whole "stay away from drugs/alcohol" statement is for the birds. I drink socially and do drugs and my life is fine. I hope things get better for you soon, as much shit as I give you I still don't want to see you hit rock bottom. You just have to keep in mind that tomorrow can always be better, you are the one who determines that outcome.

Yeah, I'm capable of ruining my own life without those things.

Stop the chemicals, stick with pot. I was in the same boat, snorting coke, and poppin pills as much as I could in my early 20's. Almost ruined my military career. But then I sought help, stopped doing all the hard shit, and just learned to enjoy a joint every now and then. You just gotta mellow out your life man.

Good luck turning your life around man. I managed pretty well. You just need a good incentive and you can do anything.

I know I never replied to this thread but I do come back periodically and re-read the much needed blunt and honest responses (This being one of those times), thank you.
