My Number One Rule

   To me, it's most important to stay away from drug and alcohol use because it can affect you physically, mentally, emotionally, and even socially. Substance abuse can have long-term effects on the way you feel and act as well as drive away those that are close to you. My family has a history of drug and alcohol abuse and has nearly torn us all apart. I currently have family in the hospital because of their addiction to heroine. They've been having graphic hallucinations and are being treated appropriately. This is just one example of the effects of drug use. In my opinion, if you need drugs or alcohol to have fun then you are boring as a person.
