day 10, your views on drugs and alcohol

unless you are taking prescription drugs from a doctor for medical purposes, there is no reason for anyone to ever be taking drugs whatsoever. Drugs are just stupid and can cost you your life. I had two friends in high school die from drugs....one boy took some kind of pill and his body reacted to it in a different way and he died....another boy committed suicide because he was not in his right mind because of the drugs that he had taken. There are so many wonderful things in life that can give you that "high" feeling that you are looking for....you just have to find what that is for you.... for me, its being a good wife, seeing my precious baby smile and be happy, making good grades, or even that simple feeling of being finished cleaning the kitchen does it for me haha. Bottom line, drugs are stupid and ruin people's lives.
Alcohol...to me, if you are drinking alcohol just to get drunk, then that is just stupid...if you are drinking alcohol just to fit in, that is stupid....if you are drinking alcohol to escape reality, it is stupid..... Now, I am not going to sit here and lie and say that I have no done my fair share of drinking. When i was in high school, I went through a very rough patch that lead to drinking excessively every weekend and making some very bad choices for myself. Luckily, this didn't last long and I am fortunate enough to say that it did not leave me with consequences that I would have to live with...
I will occasionally have a glass of wine if my husband and I are sitting at home watching a movie or we go out on a date...but once you become a parent, it is just not worth it. Could you imagine being so drunk that heaven forbid something happen to your child in the middle of the night but you are too passed out to do anything about it? Ya, try living with that for the rest of your life.
So in the end....drugs are stupid and alcohol is stupid if you don't know self control.
Thats all for now! Much love and God bless,
Sarah
