Well... Freedom is just as boring as prison. I'm happy not to have some guy watching over my shoulder all the time (parole officer) but idk I guess I was expecting some big change in feeling. There isn't one. I go to work, come home, fuck around in these forums, watch tv go to bed. Only difference is I don't have to call my P.O. When I get home every night.
Oh yeah, another good thing is this.... Before I had to be very careful when I would drink booze cause if po came by to give me a breathalyzer I would go to the county for a few days if I failed. There were ways to sneak but it was a big hassle full of paranoia. I used to crave alcohol every day. Now not really. Wtf
My cousin came over on Monday. I was already drunk. He brought some weed for a "thanks for not ratting me out when your house got raided and you went to prison present". I haven't touched it. It's been 2 years since I smoked. I'm a firm believer in weed. I know that if I don't smoke weed anymore that means I'm gonna drink way more. Really though what's worse weed or alcohol? I say alcohol.
I have no urge to smoke it. This is strange given my history. I've done serious drugs. Yet I have no urge to smoke it. Did I get brainwashed along the way somewhere? Wtf is happening to me? Huh I don't get it.
I have no idea why I'm telling all of you this shit to be honest. I'm not really looking for answers kinda just venting I suppose. Did my addictive behavior get cured? Is that possible? It's not possible if I become an alcoholic haha.
Ok, so first of all, alcohol is definitely worse than weed. For both your physical health and your mental health. With that said, if you don't feel the urge to drink or smoke, don't do it man. If you feel like it, sure go ahead, but don't do it for the sake of it because that will just get you into trouble.
And it is possible for addictive behaviour to be cured, and no you haven't been brainwashed. Addictive behaviour develops - 9 times out of 10 - because a person feels they need to cope with certain issues in their life somehow. It could be something big, like emotional problems, or it could be something small, like boredom. Either way, that's how it develops. After all this time without using that stuff, you learn that you can cope with your issues in other ways, and you don't really need it. Sometimes it's still fun to have it, but you don't
need it anymore. So don't sweat it, man. It's a good thing.
