Dan the man

Drinking smoking and carrying on. The smoking I started around fifteen years old and did until I was thirty eight years old. I wasn’t a heavy smoker maybe a pack a day on a bad day. I also started smoking pot around the same time which led to eating mushrooms and acid and I really enjoyed that time, I saw some amazing things that I tried to describe but failed every time. On a Friday night we would stand outside a package store and ask people to buy beer for us because we were underage eventually someone always did and then we would go hang out, a store parking lot or the woods anywhere we felt we wouldn’t draw attention to ourselves. We would smoke and drink talk until all hours, that would all change once one of us got our drivers license. Driving under the influence wasn’t a big thing when I got my drivers license even if you got pulled over you would be able to talk your way out of it as long as you were coherent and the policeman weren’t under the same strict standards that they are today and I believe it’s because they knew you, knew your family and friends most likely you were in school with their son or daughter so they cut you some slack and followed you home and had sure you got into the house. Thankfully I quit all those bad habits and for years I didn’t drink or do dope, I adopted a healthier lifestyle and smoking was my only vice.
