I’m a rambler and a gambler I’m a long way from home. If you don’t like me just leave me alone. I’ll eat when I am hungry and I’ll drink when I’m dry. If the moonshine don’t kill me I’ll live till I die.
I think this is the way this one goes… “We were up in heaven, now we’re in the mud. We fell off the wagon, you should have heard the thud. We were so superior but that was just a phase. We were high on life for fourteen boring days.”
I can no longer drink but there are days when my mind is focused on chocolate to the detriment of anything else. Only difference is, chocolate would take longer to kill me.
Having lost two siblings to alcohol – caused deaths, I try and find positives in that humor, but then I remember how terrible that kind of death can be… and it is not funny. Bung needs to stop… it’s not a nice, comfortable end… :-\
Alcohol, Heroin, Piffle! There is a common substance that is so addicting that if it is tried once, the person is addicted for life, no exceptions. Stopping it is 100% fatal, usually in 5 minutes.
The opioid crisis occurred because doctors way overprescribed these very strong drugs. At the same time most of the people in our region lost their jobs due to the demise of the coal industry happening so fast. With no other employment options many lost hope and became even more drug dependent. If we could curb the overprescribing we could really get a handle on the opioid crisis and shut it down. But instead we get money for “counseling” and other safer drugs to replace one addiction with another. This fixes nothing.
Ah, the personal choices we make and the consequences we want to pan off on someone else. As far as I’m concerned, legalize all the drugs, just regulate them like tobacco and alcohol. If someone wants to drink/smoke/drug themselves to death, so be it. No one is forcing you to use a dangerous substance. Your choice and yours alone.

Brains are bad that way. I like to program in a habit so I don’t have to think about it.
