I don't really think I have decision-making problems, but then again, maybe I do. If I had those sorts of issues, would I know? Most people, except my parents and I, think that I'm the same person I've been. I actually think I'm
less impulsive now than I've ever been. And yes, I agree about the acceptance of help, but I want to discover self-reliance.
As for the marijuana, I don't usually smoke to take the edge off things. Sometimes, sure, but usually to see things from a different (sometimes more enjoyable) perspective. Unfortunately I don't live in a state with easily accessible legalized marijuana just yet, but I gave up smoking in general. I ingest it orally, so far it's been bimonthly and weekly, respectively.
