Clearly I'd been getting high for ... shit, 30 years.. on and off but mostly "on" until those headaches started. Just wasn't worth it anymore. Why bother if you have to pay for it later. Kind of like getting massive hangovers, right? And it wasn't even like I was getting a really good high cause the headache would start at the same time as the "high".
I like to let her think this.
Really though, some things are important. I quit smoking cigarettes because she's got asthma too so...
She's worth it.
