I have never thought about the idea of certain individuals already having inhibitions in place to secure themselves that would be lowered with alcohol, very interesting. Young you sounds like they were full of spit and piss lol A good ass whoopin in a fight often serves as a reinforcer to do better in the next fight, ha. I'm glad you've grown to be naive of different things, I personally think all substances should be decriminalized and destigmatized. Drug addiction has so much to do with mental health, it should not be a crime.
Thank you for sharing your experience and your thoughts, as always I've enjoyed them thoroughly!
Me too.
