This came up from a conversation that

likethepaint and I are having with

eyerenderingfan, and I would be really interested in knowing the following:

[Poll #1290143]

I claim edge. I never really wanted to do any of that stuff before, but after living with a drunken mom since I was ten (so for five years now), I know first-hand what kind of negative effects drugs and alcohol have on your loved ones, and pretty much anyone around you.

After going to my mom's rehab (she's been four times I think?) and seeing all the druggies and alcoholics and hearing their stories, I made a promise to myself and my friends that I would never do any of that, ever. It's so unappealing. Not only that, but it's been proven that alcoholism runs through families, and I'm afraid that if I started, I might not have any self-control, like my mother. =/

My grandad was an alcoholic. My mother, my father, my long-time stepfather, my brothers and my uncle are all stoners.

And it's fucked up watching it change people.

What I hate is that I can't really remember what she was like before. It kills me. All I know is this woman. I'm pretty sure I liked the other one though. I don't know how to get her back.

My real dad was an alcoholic (he's not anymore) and it's ironic because that's partly why my mom divorced him.

People can be such hypocrites. But it's awesome to see someone so young choosing their own path and choosing it wisely.

Good on you, dude. I know you can stick to it. ♥

Thank you. I'm going to do my best. =)
