I have an odd question for recovering addicts, that I've asked in the past but never really got much of an answer: I have never done any drugs, alcohol, nothing other than coffee. Do you think there's any value in an essay on what that's like but in an honest no-propaganda way?

I say this because I get asked all the time what it's like and how I did it, and I think it's because I don't do it for religious reasons. I chose not to and just...didn't do it. For people who do drugs this experience of mine is totally foreign, so I wonder if there's interest

The "non-propaganda" aspect of it is I wouldn't write something like "don't do drugs kids", but rather just an essay on how I did it, what problems I encounter from it, what it feels like emotionally, how it feels physically, etc. A lot like how addiction is described.

My first impulse is “no” but I don’t know why.
