Howdy, Mike,
With all respect; Negatory: I was not blind. I drank in the City, at 18, as a
college student at Columbia; and then did not care to drink at all in NJ,
Summertimes, because, well, I didn't drink much in NYC. Drinking was not my
thing. I was a Nature Mystic. I gave a shit less about dope and booze. Did
not even do drugs. Until much later. And then, minimally, but a good survey:
only of weed and Psychedelics, nothing on the downward swing. Care zero for
any of 'em, really. Not in 40 years, since. Funny!
Samadhi is my thing. Drugs get nowhere near this. And cannot sustain anything.
I'm all about practice. Ask anybody. And, teaching to newbies. ;-)
Yoga teacher; sometime to be Dharma-Teacher; still in-training.
