Well, here is some backstory, as of New Years Ive been "clean". I used to do all sorts of stuff, weed;alcohol;vicodin; foclin; adderall; robitussin; all sorts of pills and such. Now, I dont do anything, at all. Alot of my friends who didnt do any of that then always told me, be careful, dont do anything stupid and Id shrug it off as nothing. Now as of recently, Ive found out 3 of my female friends are now starting to just try alcohol, thats it as far as I know. And the thing is, I know they would never have too much or do anything too stupid, but Im worried as all hell about it. They were the same 3 people who were "straight-edges" and anti drugs and such. But now I tell them the same things they act how I acted. But, what they are doing isnt even serious, and yet I still worry hugely about it. Especially a certain one of them, but thats another story for another time....

Same sorta thing happened with me. I was really into drugs and the like for about a year, then I too "went clean." Now I try to tell my friends who are just starting, hey man, don't do it, it's really not as great as you think.... but they brush it off, just like I did.

I think everyone is a little bit like that. You are just concerned for other people. Just don't be one of those annoying people that constantly nags on people about their drug use, claiming that you know better just because of your experience.

Give them a bit of advice and guidance maybe, but don't force it.

You'll get more laid back about it as time goes. Share your advice if it's asked for or if there is obvious stupidity going on.

Yeah, Im not going to try and control them and their drug use by any means, I mainly keep my worrying to myself
