Actually as a miracle to me my other half never did drugs either. He gets pissed off when people are smoking a cigarette right next to him and blows their smoke towards his direction. I get pissed and frustrated too but I don't confront people about it unless it's a continuous problem with the same person.

I've realized in the time growing up people who have tried or repeatedly done drugs have said I should always try it once and not be ignorant about it. I've learned from others mistakes. As sick as that sounds. It's not ignorance on my part. I don't need to know what drugs will do to me or how they'll make me feel to prove im not ignorant to the world. The only benefit it'd do for me is to help me run from my stresses. That'd only make everything worse int he long run.

Over the counter drugs... I once paid a visit to the doctor for easilly stressing out and unable to relax. It was about the time when I was still in school and working full time. He prescribed valium. I was advised to take half of a 10mg. I did once, it scared the shit out of me. I could drive or think straight. I had to force myself to lay down and sleep to not deal with what the drug did. After then I refused to use the prescription again.

In the past I've taken paxil to control angina pectoris in which never gave me side effects and did a great deal of help until I tought myself how to control my bodily burdens.

Lastly I'm sure mostof you know already I had been a cancer patient for nearly two years. For most of that time I did have my fair share of chemo, radiation, medications and so on. Mostof the meds never made me feel any better than I was at the time. About half the time I was suppose to take them I didn't and only took herbal supplements such as coral calcium, chapparal (i believe is now illegal since the government found out by the FDA that it does go after free radials) and lots of pure aloe vera gel consumption with a very healthy diet even when I wasn't hungry. I never did tell the doctor I stopped taking my meds. But I did get better.He was suspicious though since I didn't have much markings on my body as most patients would. Only bloody bruises on my legs and sometimes on my arms.

I'm not saying that anyone can overcome any severe condition without prescription drugs but luckily I managed to do so most of the time.

Now I just make my monthly visits for full check ups as Im suppose to but all in all I've never been to the doctor for any other problem just to get medicines. I tough out the colds and flu by sucking on hard candy, tea, juices and your ordinary chicken broth.
