Being abstinent is very beneficial to me. The last person I dated briefly a good while back give me enough reason on why remaining celibate/abstinent is worth my truly while and is so precious to me.

I lost my job, fiance and every possession I had. I could no longer get it so I had to stop. I was hospitalized for a bipolar related psychotic break and haven't smoked for almost three months since I go out. Marijuana is the only thing that makes me feel good, but it is not sustainable and it takes away from every other aspect of my life until it's drained me like a parasite.
