Well said by all! Looking back, I realize that when I was younger, my body and mind could endure the habitual drug abuse and I could still function normally job-wise, etc.. As I entered my 40's, the after-effects and exacerbation of my depression started to become a problem. Then began the vicious cycle of self-medication followed by uncomfortable after-effects. My daily life was becoming adversely affected and my formerly "mild" depression became severe at this point of my life. Lack of pot, my drug of choice, went from being an annoyance to very uncomfortable psychological withdrawal. I also realized that drug use had become a consuming hobby, as it were. I didn't know what to do without it. Hindsight always being 20/20, I wish I never started. My recovery is slow-going and painful. I'm past the habitual drug use but repairing the damage is, as they say, a whole 'nother story.
