Like basically every well-educated, upper-middle-class Catholic, I spent the first fourteen-years without touching alcohol or drugs... and life was fun. I remember how I never had cash given that my weekly paper-round rate was only $21 - plus tips - yet I still managed to save the money to buy what I wanted... back then, $100 Nintendo 64 games!

Back then, entertainment was easy... Nintendo 64... Computer... Having my school friends visit, or me visit them... Sleep-overs plus much more. That went on for FOURTEEN-YEARS... Longer than half my life!!! Still, I find it hard to imagine things that can be fun and entertaining without drugs these days... I have plenty of things I could do - read the many books I have on back log awaiting to be read... all the random articles I cut from magazines for scrapbooking... still, I can't do it, without the help of drugs... and when the drug is in my system, all I want to do is kick back and relax on the couch listening to music, and/or going to sleep. Stupid, really.

How I wish - how I pray - to go back to the days where life was much easier to get entertainment out of.
