Sorry to hear all that Dave but glad some came through well.  We

Some do indeed turn out well in spite of hard lives. At the same time
even people from relatively good homes make bad choices in life. I
have difficulty with the excuse of needing to deaden the mental pain
of their pasts. There are a limited number of negative experiences
than can be guaranteed to turn someone to a life of drug and alcohol
abuse. It is more commonly an inability to cope with life because of
drug and alcohol abuse.
 
It may also be the result of using drugs and alcohol to let loose. As
much as I enjoy alcohol and and psychedelic drugs, I have never ever
sat down with the intention of getting drunk and have never taken
drugs to dull mental pain.  I have limited sympathies for those who
do.

I've never set out to get more than tipsy and rarely get past that.
Not into drugs but tried weed.  Made me extremely sick to my stomack.
Since when it hits the pollen charts (Tijuana is very close to San
Diego so yes, hits the pollen charts) I get hayfever really bad.
Nothing else seems to affect me.  Allergic maybe?  I just don't mess
with it.
