So you don’t think that drug and substance users are scum? Well I do, as I have seen several people’s lives destroyed because of using drugs and alcohol and partying like crazy while doing it. People who let that happen to themselves are scum, because they cause themselves and their loved ones horrible damage. Until you get yourself clean from using drugs or of constant alcohol abuse, you are scum. When you start doing drugs on a regular basis, you put yourself in the trashbin, and when you quit that bad habit, that is when you get yourself out of the trashbin.
I know two people whom managed to get themselves out of that trashbin after being seriously addicted to heroine and LSD and other substances, and became still successful and admirable people and have been that way since the 80’s, and I admire those people deeper than any other people in this world. But those who let themselves become scum and do nothing about it, those people I despise, for turning themselves into friggin zombies and causing all the horrible pain to their loved ones. And I can tell you that this is what constant partying with drugs and alcohol leads to eventually. I was on that path as a youngster for some years, but I just rationally started thinking about it and realized that what I was doing was bad for myself and through that especially to the people that I love and love me. No religion involved and I’m by no means an absolutist with alcohol, but I just drink it a few times a year, as I don’t really need it to have fun in general, and for sure I’m not dependant on it and will never let myself become that.
But unfortunately I have lost 5 different friends from my youth because of substance abuse or alcoholism. Three because of alcohol and two because of drugs. I mean that I lost each of them in that sense that through years they went lower and lower as human beings and became completely different persons. Violent, hateful, bitter, unemployed, and physically complete wrecks. Each of them got also badly involved with really bad people and one of them almost killed me, when I happened to visit him a few years ago, because I didn’t want to have anything to do with their drug partying. That was the last day he existed to me as a person and a friend. I have cut all my relationships to these people as their behaviour is threatening and sick towards themselves and other people, and I don’t want to risk my family and especially my 5 year old son’s well being with having to deal in any way with the stuff that these kind of people are doing and involved with.
People who think that constant hard partying, and using constantly drugs or alcohol while doing it is just fine, have really low standards in their life, and probably have also not seen life that much after all to realize what are truly good things in life and what things just cause harm and sorrow.
