umm.. keep the shit quiet.. dont' let myself get out of control, dont' offer up the fact i do, i'd only tell new people about my habbits, if i was pretty sure they shared the same habbits (was never wrong either) not to let it become my life, or get to a point to where all i wanted to do was get high/drunk and be completely miserable any other time.... i still always wanted to do it, but there's a time and place for everything... there's always goign to be that want... but as long as you're not letting the want run yoru life... it's ok.
