I have no idea whether she reads my blog, but here's a statement: Stop telling me what to do. I'm not diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, but I fucking hate being told what to do. You've got a rich husband; I don't. 😂 -
Stop telling me you won't socialise with me unless I'm clean. That is absolutely stupid, and actually a refutation of my philosophy.
My political philosophy is that drugs - including alcohol - should all be legal. That means encouraging sensible use, and threatening/cajoling/bullying me with performing opportunities is absolutely bullshit that encourages me to use more to dissociate from such a scary reality in which people have no respect for my rights.
I mean, I have a number of friends who are ok with me having a beer or smoking a cone. Bluntly, I don't drink in public the way that I do in private. I smoke more in public, though, when that's an option. 🍺🍀
