Confession Box

[Glinda]

The hell, people? Smoke a bowl. Chill!

My drinking story: Way back in the '80s, I went on a pub crawl with some coworkers. I remember going to two or three bars, then the next thing I knew, it was 2 a.m. and I was in the back of a cab that had just brought me to my flat. Apparently, I paid the driver, as he let me go without any argument, but my wallet was completely empty. Don't know if I drank all that money or gave it all to the cabbie.

Nevertheless, my coworkers apparently never knew I'd blacked out - no reports of me acting crazy or doing anything out of the ordinary - but I sure as hell knew. I knew that I was incredibly fucking lucky, and incredibly fucking stupid. I never told anybody about this (until now).

Having no idea what happened that night was enough to sober me right the hell up, and I've never repeated the experience. Oh, I still drink, but very little and very responsibly. Bud is my go-to party favor. Oddly enough, I seem to be consuming less and less of either/both as a matter of course. No telling why, as I have enough money to buy what I want and I work from home these days, so I could partake any time I like, but I just don't seem to that much anymore.

I suppose getting older has something to do with it. My biggest vice these days is taking long afternoon naps.

Smoking pot is probably waaaay dangerous for a reglar ol' suhvillyan. Idk, I've only been smoking it for 37 years, but, one of noboxeS' additional duties as a San Francisco medical specialist in the military was Alcohol & Drug Abuse Program Coordinator for his unit, he'll tell ya all about it. He won't help ya, but he'll tell ya about it. Show him ya bruise. I don't know why his dick needed a program to abuse drugs and alcohol, but, there ya go.

Maybe he drummed up business for the program. Y'know hang with the guys. I know hanging out w/noboxeS would make me abuse drugs and alcohol. After just a minute, prolly.

Myself, I didn't need no program, nor no stoopit old coordinator. I became an alcohol and drug abuser on my own. And I did it the old fashioned way. I unned it.

Heh.

Weed's pretty much innocuous. Actually wildly beneficial in plenty of ways (and surely more ways that we haven't discovered yet).

FYI, for two years during my absence from The Cellar, I worked at a recreational pot store. They hired an old lady like me because I know a few things about it, knowledge gained from several decades of personal study.

Auntie Glinda sez: If you don't want to smoke, don't smoke. If you do (and you're of age), do. It's all good.

But blackout drinking . . . . is something different altogether.
