You’d be amazed
I know people in their early 30s now still binging adderall or drinking or even straight-up shooting heroin.
It’s amazing.
Druggies…find a way.

Dude, I've been dabbling in drugs since I was like 14, I'm 24 now and just dealt with heroin addiction this year. I don't have a 100th of the support this guy has, but I was able to kick it with the help of a few friends and my wonderful mother of course. I'm saying this shit about him as a druggie, like dude I do all these drugs because I'm a shut-in NEET with no family and some schizoid weird issues surrounding close relationships, yet desperately want a family. It pisses me off when normies who are able to have a family with a beautiful normal woman, and they throw it all away because they like to feel loaded. I guess the only reason I'm able to have the willpower to kick it is because I love my mom and my friends and my temple enough to hold out and wait to see if I can heal myself and create a family, or die trying.

To clarify: by no family I mean no gf/kid, I have a wonderful family in my mom, and her siblings, my cousins, etc. That probably helps a lot, even if none of them besides my mom knows what I'm going through. I think part of the problem is this dude has access to all these fucking 'wholesome' pieces of shit. They give him a big fat shot of dopamine right when he's needing to detox from it and hit rock bottom. Literally proud of this dude just for admitting he's been a piece of shit, like at least a few of his fans need to be like 'What's your deal man? Stop sacrificing your family for this shit, we're disappointed in you'. That's so so off limits these days though, you need to be 100% supportive and go ahead and give the person their reward before they've even begun.

I know what you mean. I don’t have a family so I just Do Not Ever try hard drugs or fuck with my medications or bring alcohol in the house because I know if I ever start I’ll be doomed. The common theme of the people I knew growing up that still have drug problems is that they come from well-off families, were to some extent coddled, and were conventionally attractive when young. I legit think they just never developed a backbone or sense of right and wrong or even shame or self-control.
It’s second-hand embarrassing and repulsive like someone with their dick hanging out of their fly without realizing.

Yeah, you're smart and not missing out on too much for that. There's really no reason to do any of these things, especially if you've gotten to adulthood without them. I also agree with your observation for the most part, all of my friends and I came from fairly decent families, not upper middle class or anything, but like doing fine in a fairly poor state. Most of us fairly attractive/strong not bullied in school, momma's boys with no dad present or aloof dad present. I think for us, we started so young that our drug use became sort of tangled in our sense of identity. A lot of us became good at acquiring drugs, introducing people to drugs, being able to 'handle our drugs', etc. There comes some pride in stuff like that and before you know it, you've used up your entire teenage years being kind of a hardass life of the party sort of person, but it's time to grow up and you've put a roadblock in the way. In any case, I'd say I'm doing great given my prior circumstances. Many of my friends who didn't get clean from one thing or another have since died, ended up in jail or awaiting possible prison, or just lost their damn minds.

That's exactly what growing up was like for me too. Started smoking weed and obsessing over psychs at 17 and I've only really grown up just now at 26. My parents dropped the ball pretty hard in several ways when I was growing up and one of the many things I was never taught was self-control.
