I want to say some things about the pleasure of drugs and alcohol. People love getting high or drunk to relax, party, have a good time, whatever the reason may be. The high is different for everyone; some people can fully let go of themselves and experience the drug. I feel like since I grew up in a home that taught me that drugs would lead me down a bad road and had a short catholic education, I cannot fully enjoy being drunk or high, without some catholic guilt.
For some, it’s really hard to push aside what was taught early on and let go with the drug. I feel this guilt when I try things. It’s like half of my brain is thinking about my parents and how disappointed they would be. Although I know that I am responsible and just wanting experience, I can’t let go of the thought of upsetting them or the thought of doing something terribly wrong. This upsets me because I do not want to live according to the “catholic guilt” thing.
People feel catholic guilt when they have engaged in some type of behavior that they learned as sinful or wrong. In my opinions drugs and drinking are not necessarily wrong for some people. Some people feel this guilt if they want to use birth control; it is a matter of what they learned when they were young. Despite this guilt, there are people who use drugs on a daily basis and love their life; they love what drugs bring them and feel no remorse being a user.
