I remember hearing this theory that as drug users, more specifically those that started using in their formative years, we stunt our emotional growth through the chemicals we use.
The theory continues to state that when we stop using drugs we are at the emotional level of the time that we first started using those drugs.
I can see some sort of validity to this claim but question it to a degree. How does one measure emotional growth?
I'm almost 40 years old and definitely lack emotional balance but not always. I can also be what others call 'very immature' and I agree with them.
What do you think? When we stop putting that shit in our bodies, are we left at the emotional levels from when we first started using?
Does this theory hold water or is it full of holes?
