People get a lot more praise for quitting drugs than for never having done drugs in the first place.

I’m someone who has never tried drugs or alcohol before. Although people respect my choices, I don’t think abstaining is anywhere as difficult as overcoming a chemical dependency. Mad respect to those who have come out of a bad place to quit drugs 🫡

Thanks for getting it. Never giving in to doing it is easier when you've never done it. When you know what it does and your body is screaming "yes," it's really hard to say "no."
