For me, I think it was booze for a few years in my mid 20's. I'd love to blame it on being a "phase" but I think it was a little more than that. I actually couldn't have fun without booze in the situation. Then of course I started smoking weed and actually purchasing it for the first time in my life. I bought weed for a period of about 4 months and realized I had a problem and pretty much dropped everything at that time.

Now if I drink, it's pretty rare. Maybe a beer here or there but I might average about a 6 pack per month, maximum. I never smoke pot anymore thought and have no craving for either drug. As I write this post, I'm sipping on a coke.
