Are you happy with this life? Serious question. I once tried giving up alcohol, and I found it was suddenly a lot more difficult hanging around friends who were drinking. I've also been through stages in my life where I used other less legal substances, and looking back it was one of the most fun and happy times of my life. To me, chemicals have provided variety, fun and different and unusual states of mind. Fortunately I never got into anything that affected my health in a significant way, although I have a constant back-of-the-mind concern about my alcohol intake, given how poisonous and ever-present it is.
