Drugs and alcohol worked really well for the insecurities and the emptiness that I had for a long time, very efficient in supposedly fixing me right, right, but I had all these justifications like: I'm not a hard drug user, I'm a recreational and I can be fine not doing drugs, but our society is what it is, and it was really tough imagining not being a drinker right, even though I had never ever been able to successfully social drink.
