looking back on it, there wasn't anything all that interesting other than hanging out with strippers and prostitutes and doing a lot of drugs. while it was fun at the time, it's pretty sad in retrospect lol.

Yeah but a lot of shit is fun as fuck in the moment even if it's straight, inadvisable degeneracy. It's why the "don't do what I did [and had the time of my life doing when I wasn't having the worst time of my life doing it]" rings so hollow for those who haven't yet leapt in with both feet
Either way, you're a fixture here and a man of discerning taste

yep. the partner at bakerhostetler whose apartment i did a lot of this at (he was from cleveland but had an apt in LA and was having serious marital issues at the time) and i were talking recently and both agreed that we're glad we had a lost 2-3 years but equally glad it's over and we got through it. of course, he was nowhere near as bad off as me. no coke (just weed) and would just bang girls here and there.
i will say this, i don't do anything by half measures. i was a full blown trainwreck. i had a shitload of fun though. i do sometimes feel guilty about being quasi-present for my kids for a while, but i don't really dwell on that. it is what it is and i pulled out of it so whatever i guess.
