Out of control but not losing your mind

The moral is that people do substances not because they're addicts, its because their life is already so AWESOME, that even though they do these substances, they wont be affected. thats what everyone needs. a balance. Doing substances is not bad. its the infatuation and way you lose yourself in it is bad. If recreational substances stay recreational, and you dont turn into ambitional user, than you're fine.
