    WELL....I just got my paycheck a few days ago and I was really excited cause i only worked for 2 days and made about 600 dollars..i was busy all week so it took me a while to cash in the check...when i finally did, my alcoholic uncle that lives with me immediately asked if he could borrow 300 bucks....i instantly refused to pay him any money...but by the end of the day I was really high and being high usually makes me feel generous..i really felt bad for the guy cuz hes had a tough life with alcohol and family problems, so i ended up giving him the money( plus when i was younger he used to buy me alcohol almost every weekend, so i thought i shud repay him)...even though i knew he would probably spend it mostly on alcohol...the next day i REALLY REALLY REALLY regreted it, but i couldnt get the money back because my uncle went away for the weekend.Isn't it crazy how much shit alcohol can drop on your life? im extremeley happy im a pothead and not an alcoholic. it just annoys me how people think alcohol is so much safer than pot, even though alcohol destroys thousands of lives and weed hasnt really destroyed any.Im feeling really pissed off and im about 70% sure that he wont pay me back too....I don't know what i should do...anyone with advice would really be helpful.....

    Well... I don't know... it sounds like you gave him money under the pretense of not having it repaid, so it sounds like you just need to lick your wounds.

    But beyond that, I know what you're saying about alcohol. My mother was an alcoholic all my life... it ruined my family, it ruined my childhood, it put a severe dent in my pysche as well... Pothead > > > > > > > > >> > > > Alcoholic.

    Because of that i don't even drink. But good luck my friend.

    Sorry to say, but I think your estimate of 70% chance is very hopeful; I doubt you will see it again anytime soon. Addicts lie; it is part of their condition. They cannot be trusted.

    I know how you feel - my Mother also has a problem with the booze, and for a time in my youth, so did I. Like yourself, though, I am now pleased and proud to say I am not addicited to a thing, not even weed. I could stop anytime. I'm my boss, nothing else.

    Just take comfort in the fact that, despite adictions often running in families, you have been strong enough to avoid this one.

    Best of luck.
