Never been so blasé about your life that you opened your friend's parent's medicine cabinet and recklessly took whatever prescriptions you found in there in a desperate attempt to get high and escape reality?

Good for you!

Is it OK to feel sorry for you? The thought of doing this has never even crossed my mind. People would describe me as a very optimistic and happy person though. I guess I just don't need any drugs for escape, although I do enjoy jumping into a video game and beating up some bad guys. Dynasty Warriors is great therapy.

I feel sorry for who I was.

But I escaped all that, and I have a lot of family and love and caring all around me now. Drug free for decades.
