Used to party hard. Got tired of waking up in jail and always being broke. Rehab'd twice. Then, became a counselor. Once I saw a few thousand rehabbers with worse stories than mine, I was cleaned up for good.
Was fun in the beginning. Then, so bad it F***** scares me the number of times I nearly offed myself.
Better now. Changed my highs to SCUBA, dino digging, camping, repelling, spelunking, fishing, and more. Keep my hands and head busy with Monster fish, intarsia and scrollsaw woodwork, gem cutting, and several other things.
Don't miss the partying much. Then again, Hell...I don't remember enough of it to miss it.
