But if you stay within the morals and stay sober, I think I'm in the camp that it's you should be having fun i mean and enjoying your life especially if you're working hard and there's no i personally don't think there's a point in working if you're never going to reward yourself and you're never going to have fun that's what i say to to younger people like they ask me do i need to be sober and this and that I tell them no honestly like if you're uh if you're a kid and and or a high schooler college student and you're and you can be honest and and say truthfully I'm not um messing up my relationships I'm not cheating in school I'm not stealing from anyone I'm not lying to people.
