Well, some definite changes in how I see and approach things now as compared to when I was getting high are recognizable of late.
Back then, it was all about immediate results. Now, now, now... me, me, me. All that did was postpone all the feelings and avoid all the realities that I couldn't handle.
Now, it is the complete opposite (mostly). I recognize that patience is necessary and that long term results don't materialize until later (imagine that?). I now accept that groundwork must be laid and that what I do today sets the future in motion. Yeah, I get down at times but these blues are shorter in duration and have always been alleviated by the results of present actions.
Its interesting how the two lifestyles are in direct opposition to each other.
