I don’t drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs...

I find it somewhat funny to be typing this blog post but it seems that this is one question I am constantly being asked whenever I say I don’t do any of the three. The reason? Not the usual you would hear, or at least I believe so. Read on.

I think I'm different. I don’t drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs. I don't really see the point in doing it. I mean, seriously what is so fun about it?

Seriously, why would I:

1. Drink a beverage that doesn't taste good, costs a lot, will cause me to do things I don’t want to do, and will make me feel like crap the next morning if I consume so much of it?

2. Rely on a substance to make me feel like I am “confident” when I already am?

3. Use a stick to “take my stress away” by burning it and inhaling fumes that don’t even smell good?

4. Inhale some substance to take me into some different mental dimension or to enhance the sensation?

Don’t get me wrong! To me, drinking and getting drunk is just an excuse for people to be happy and content just the way they are. There is nothing funny or amusing about finding out the next morning that you slept with somebody you don’t even know, or crashing your car because you couldn’t drive properly, even vomiting regardless of location, or screwing up your brain cells because you thought taking some drug would make you feel awesome, or busting your lungs every time you smoke a cigarette, and so on!

Unfortunately that habit became a part of many cultures and what a pointless habit it is! “That’s not just fun man!” One would say. Honestly, my definition of fun is different. Again, I know a lot of my friends and people I am acquainted with might be reading this, but this is just my perception right now which is why I don’t touch these substances anymore and I do not mean to insult or offend anybody.

What message am I trying to send across here? Don’t do drugs? Don’t drink alcohol? Don’t smoke? Nope. It simply is this: Enjoy yourself without having such substances in your body whilst thinking that they are the only way to have an awesome time at any place because you simple can!

There's more to life. If you spend your life partying and drinking and smoking excessively your life will not end well, if you set goals to do extraordinary things then your one life will be extraordinary.

Live healthily with passion!
