Raw Psychology: Drinking, Drugging and How I Got Sober

NOTE: The word "drink" is often used instead of "drug." I used alcohol usually but also smoked marijuana, experimented with crack cocaine, and LSD. I used all these other drugs but mainly used them with or after alcohol intake. When writing, it was simply easier to generally say "drink" rather than to explain the other drugs within the context of my story. It would have made it too lengthy and confusing for those not familiar with the specific drug mentioned. Similar stories and similar programs of recovery apply to illegal drug addicts also.
