I'm not bragging. I just want to point that out. If anything I want that shyt to seem as uncool as possible. Kicker is I get at my most artistic damn near slaughtered but get to lazy to create.


Idk :jbhmm: as far as artistic ability fukked up versus sober...

I can draw/ sketch a lil bit. Don't really have the desire for it nowadays but back when I was gone off that powder (and other illicit highly potent drugs) I could draw my ass off .. The only problem was they were graphic pornographic sketches. But I'd be so high I would zone the fukk out and make every small detail about a woman (fukking) PERFECT :lawd: From her facial expressions ,ass shape, fingers, hair, unreal sexual positions... Them shyts were priceless :wow:


I'm sure I can achieve that same level of artistic talent sober. But I don't have the desire to do it sober :francis:




I can also rap.. Now that's something I do still have the desire to do and I can tell you breh my "rap skills" have stepped up BIG TIME since I've been sober. Im not trying to be a rapper or make it a career or be booking studio time and all that, I just write verses for fun.. I write at least a verse a week or every other week and I've been doing it for about two or three years straight.. I'm FAR better lyrically than I was when I used to actually rap with friends in home studios passing blunts around swigging Hennessey.. No bullshyt. I'm :flabbynsick: and all but lyrically I'm the truth.
Sober :francis:

If you can't do something without being drunk or high.. Its probably just not your thing.. And you don't know it because your always drunk or high.


Whatever it is you're referring to as far as what you create artistically, I think if you were sober and do the whole "find myself/ get to know who I am" thing.. You'll find out you can create just fine without it and more than likely even better.


I used to workout a lot while smoking weed (and drinking) regularly. At the time I thought was really doing something. I'd hit up the gym then when I left crack open a beer or bottle and fire up a stick. I figured I "earned it" because I work out often. Not realizing alcohol and dope sdepletes your body of vitamins nutrients etcetc, not to mention what it does to you mentally..... Here I am a whole decade later, working out a lot (sober). I clock my run time and document the weights I do. I'm damn near twice as fast and stronger than I was 10 years ago :francis:



Bumping into people that knew the old me usually go "You look great!"


Best decision you'll ever make bro

I agree about withdrawal symptoms. Recently both of my parents had strokes. BOTH had to be detoxed in the hospital. Drinking becomes a part of you. And I'm not singling you out. I'm just saying. It becomes a part of you, kinda like venom and his symbiote. Like to be honest If I wasn't drinking or days i tried to quit I couldn't sleep a lick. The funny thing is people who smoke weed always kinda look down on alcoholics, but man I know so many dudes who be on task and end up going to jail cause they have weed in they system. People swear weed isn't addictive, but man......All I'm a say is anything you do every day is an addiction. Hell you could be addicted to work, so you damn know well you can be addicted to weed.

Weed really is medicine. In my case it made me able to sleep and got me back on point. Even sleeping pills wouldn't put me to sleep then. I drove 7 hours with 2 sleeping pills in me. Wasn't a good idea but I stayed awake with a 5 hour energy and Wu Tang radio.

That was fukced up

But anyway. Weed turned it around

I don't really compete with drug habits. Drink. Smoke. Drink and smoke. Don't do anything. Whatever you like. Weed has its drawbacks fo sho

i've considered writing raps again myself, just for the therapy of it. it's dope that you actually view it as a hobby. :ehh:

In a way it is like therapy. Almost like a diary.

I don't write "today I blah blah blah" or "I'm going thru this right now blah blah'

I'll pick a beat off my favorite song of the day or week from my playlist working out or a song I hear in the car xm radio, if I'm really feeling the beat I'll act like whoever's song it is (migos ,drake, gotti, mobb deep, nas, etc.. even R&B joints) I'll act like they wanted me to spit a verse on it and I'll write to whatever the overall theme of that particular song is...

I'll make it dope but within that verse in between the clever metaphors, bravado and whatnot I'll mix in truths about myself and who I am where I been.. And that's the part that makes it "therapy/ journal entry"

Then i post it on my social media feed with the screenshot of the song playing on my phone... I get a few likes here and there but I don't give a shyt about that though. The only mf I care about it entertaining is me :jawalrus:
