Regrets of Drugs Use and Booze Poll:
« Reply #15 on: April 02, 2005, 11:07:31 AM »
Interestingly enough I've had to give a good deal of thought to the whole topic after reading "The Unbearable lightness of being"

If nothing else it spends a good bit of time dealing with essentially this question.

I agree wtih Lazs.

I try to learn from my mistakes, but live without regret. The past is static, why worry about what you can not change?

Now if only I could get it to where I'm making the right choices in the present lol.

Regrets? I have had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

Actually, like Lizking said, I have some regrets about things I didn't do, more than I have had regrets about things I did do.

About the only thing I regret regarding intake into my body is too much Pepsi.  Love the stuff, though I rarely drink the hard stuff anymore.  I drink about one Pepsi Edge a day now.  Hate diet pop.

I don't drink much beer, probably no more than 2 a week on average.

Never smoked, very happy with that decision.

I didn't buy the good stuff sooner. Life is too short to drink cheap booze. Boone's Farm.... what was I thinking?

They still sell that stuff.  I remember it from oh, freshman year in high school.

Regular Pepsi, with all the sugar and caffeine.  

Not much of a Dew drinker, but will drink a Sprite once in a while.

I've probably made every mistake that was afforded to me. But regretting those would mean that I don't like where I've ended up or who I've become.

No regrets here.

I regret that pot has gotten so expensive. $400/month is getting old.

Hell is about to freeze, but I will agree to what Lasz initialy posted: What I did made me what I am... hence, no regrets!

So it looks like it’s pretty much impossible to separate who you have become from your experiences with drugs and booze.  (With the exception of one particular acid trip and one person’s cigarette habit…)

Well, if forced to seperate it... I would guess that I'd have a lot more money, and uhm...

No, it's impossible.

If I have any regrets, it might be that drugs didn't bring me crashing down a lot sooner. And if it didn't happen at all, I'd probably be spending the rest of my life as a pretty messed up person and not even realize it. It might even be fair to say that drugs saved my life.

Having gone through it now, it's easy to look back and see that all of that stuff is a complete waste of time. But it needed to be done.

Hhm... I can't figure out how to explain this.

Just thought of a quote by Winston Churchill.  One day he was accused of being drunk by a female member of parliament in the UK.  His answer was brilliant he said something like , 'In the morning I will be sober, you Madan, will still be ugly'

Comebacks dont get better than that.

Me, I drink occassionally and enjoy it.

I'm trying to give up the studmuffins.  If there was one thing I would change, it's the day I went near a cigarette for the first time.  But like someone said there's no point dwelling in the past.

Never touched harder drugs and never intend on doing so.

No, I think that was pretty good.
