A reviewer gave a very nice review of the movie, but he reported that the 13th step was relapse. Everyone familiar with the steps knows that the 13th step refers to newcomers who have sex early in sobriety, usually with someone with a lot more sobriety.
Just a FYI

...and that's when i turned off the movie and rated it a 1. i've done plenty of drugs. i'm playing pool on Tuesday. i've never done any terrible things like that character did, and never will. no, i'm not trying to quit. i'm trying to get a college degree so i can afford more. i'm still an awesome person, so i don't get why people associate drugs with being trash. people are trash all on their own. i've also done all of my jobs exceptionally well. i very rarely came to work high or got high at work. i won awards for performance! maybe i'm just superhuman, but i think everything should be legalized. imo, the only problem with drugs is price, quality, and acquisition. the bad is already in people or just money situations. i don't go around telling people to do them or anything. but all of the reasons i've heard not to do them are lies or just related to people being ignorant and irresponsible. alcohol is the worst drug in the world.
shareYou rated the movie a 1, based on something that has been more tried and true that you can imagine. Wow, that is about what you would rank on the scale of 1 out of 10 in terms of intelligence.
As far as your lifestyle choice, it is your life. Still, do you really think that people who end up as "trash" typically start as trash? The "street drug" industrial complex is a multibillion dollar industry, and the revenue is not generated by your 10$ hookers, and small-time criminals holding up 7-11s to get that $50 they have in their register after midnight.
As long as drugs remain expensive, and tolerance is an issue, addicts will require more and more drugs to hit the same high and eventually there will come a point they will not be able to afford the dosage required to get them to that level. Eventually their need to prevent withdrawal will lead to employment problems, and they will typically lose their jobs soon after.Then borrowing money from friends and family will start, next will be selling off all of your possessions, and finally the downward spiral will make you cross the line between legality and illegality.
Then again, you are clearly a child, who has not yet even graduated college. What can you possible know about the real-world job market, and the little slack people will cut you once you are an adult and you are making over $50K per year. It its not a college classroom where you can do whatever and as long as you pass the test all sins will be washed away. Even $9/hr cashier positions these days require a drug test.
I'm with Brent- I know people who are regular drug takers but still pretty much just do it at night and it doesn't affet work or anything. I agree that if yuo're trash, you're trash (I mean inside, not social class). Drugs won't make a good person bad!

Well, there's also the health consequences.
Maybe hasn't hit you yet, but the body can only take so much damage, especially the older you get...
