Smoking at age 11 or 12.
Drinking alcohol
Worst event was drinking until blind drunk when I was about 17 in high school .... kept blacking out multiple times all night and gained awareness at different times and places in the city ... at one point, I was running across a four lane highway, tripped fell and gained momentary awareness with a car blaring their horn and the headlights shining in my face ... went black again ... woke up in a hotel lobby ... black again ... woke up at my doorstep where my friends dumped me and my parents dragged me inside. I was gone for about ten hours and I have no idea where I went or what I did.
All because I wanted to be like my friends around me and hang out with people.
Thankfully I cleaned up early on and now I'm 29 years sober.
