I've been drinking and using since I was 13.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I seriously started drinking probably when I was about twelve. Kids are doing a lot of stuff very early.
I began drinking alcohol at the age of thirteen and gave it up in my fifty sixth year; it was like going straight from puberty to a mid-life crisis.
If I have a problem, stuff's going through my head, I feel like using, I usually go and talk to my dad... I decided to get sober a lot younger than he did. He first tried to get sober when he was like 32, I believe.
I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.
It's a fairly recent thing but I've become very fond of making drinks myself.
I don't really drink very much, although I have abused alcohol in the past.
I like the effect drink has on me.
I got drunk when I was five. Everybody gets drunk before they're 21.
I'm glad now, at age 66, that I never used alcohol or tobacco... I've buried a lot of friends who used tobacco or alcohol.
I have not had a drink for four years, which for me is a long time.
