i guess it is up to you.

you might get to the point where you would like to stop because of the money that goes into it or because of harm to your relationships or something like that...

or you might find that as life progresses your other committments leave less room for using so you use more occasionally or maybe even quit altogether.

or you might decide to keep it up forever.

oftentimes people use for a reason. to dull the pain. things like that. when you stop for a while the pain gets kinda bad. or this irritability. this urge for something fun this urge for that predictable high. and that can be hard to fight, yeah.

sometimes it helps to attempt to deal with the painful issues. but sometimes... well... the pain has to get worse before it gets better is the general idea.

my pain is a lot better now. but it is still plenty bad. so...

i drink maybe once or twice or sometimes three or four times a week. gave up mj and haven't really used meth or e for about a year. still... mushie season is about to start :-)
