What would I be trying to accomplish? Nothing productive or important. I just wanted to catch a buzz, that's all. Ever since I was 15, I always had some kind of escape to take the edge off. First it was pot, then cigarettes and then alcohol. I quit smoking pot July of last year, cigarettes in February of this year and now I quit drinking alcohol since my injury. Now I just feel like something is missing, and it kind of adds to the stress.

Having a beer while hanging with the guys was my thing...
