Im not ready for the freedom of buying alcohol and weed legally. Im trying to divorce Ally and Mary here. This polygomist relationship doesn’t help the pain and only numbs it. I don’t know what im going to do in two months. I don’t want to be a stoned alcoholic then have to be in recovery for yet another thing. Im freaking out about it.
You’ll have to take that sobriety seriously than… It’s not difficult if you’re not an addict.

Just turning a number doesn’t mean you change, just the law. You have the conviction that you don’t want to use alcohol or weed? Then your 21 year old self must have that same conviction. Make a decision about how you’re going to respect yourself at any age, and make good choices for yourself.

I had so many buyers before I could buy legally that it wasn’t really a big deal…my drinking did pick up to be honest though. It’s really no big deal. I was the first of all my friends to come of the legal drinking age so it was just house and apartment parties for a while.
I remember anticipating my next oldest friend turning of age and I was chilling with some friends on this picnic table smoking some weed and I’m saying how much I’m looking forward to having someone to go out drinking with and how I was going to take him out bar hopping on his birthday. And there’s this dead silence the awkwardness of which you could of cut with a knife. And then someone eventually goes “Uh…um…like pick up some sluts or something?”
Total weirdness. Here I am associating bar hopping with like getting shitfaced, playing some pool and stumbling the streets in the grand tradition you never see in this town anymore and here’s this…I still don’t know or get what that was.
Anyway, it’s really no big deal turning 21 at all. Especially when your as burned out as I was by that age, been there, lived a lifetime. It’s weird though, this girl I guess I’m sort of “invovlved with” is 21 and I’m 33…I’m used to the other way around but it’s kinda nice to get to relive that naivete of youth.
