I don’t use drugs nor alcohol, but I just turned 18 and I noticed that a lot of people younger than me (high school age so 14-17 even) use alcohol and sometimes drugs from siblings, older friends, etc.

Did you do that when you were younger than me? I don’t plan on doing so anyway.

    I was a fullblown alcoholic and habitual stoner by the time i was 16. Started at 14. Im now 2 years sober at 29 and really mourning the lost time.

        Yeah, i try to. I cant help but feel like i wasted the best years of my life. But i know that isnt true. Its just what society tells us about our 20s. The last 2 years have been better than the last 10 in a lot of ways
