36. "the first time i smoked a cigarette w/mom" In response to In response to 24
she grilled me about what other substances i'd tried.
and i was mostly honest but didn't tell the whole truth.
then i asked what she'd done and she was probably only somewhat honest w/me.
it was a good talk.
i've since learned that she was mortified that i smoke cigs and she blamed herself. she didn't care so much about the other substances but the cigs were a problem for her. so since then i've tried not to smoke cigs in front of her.
i've had some drinks around her. we talked on thanksgiving last yr after i'd drank at a friend's house and i apologized for slurring b/c i'd had too much bourbon and she exclaimed 'I didn't know you drink brown liquor!' i lol'd and reminded her i'm almost 40 yrs old and i'm a lawyer - so, yeah. i drink brown liquor. lol
