Navigating Life Changes in Your 30s

Reaching the age of 30 often prompts reflections on past behaviors and lifestyle choices, particularly in relation to substance use. The speaker emphasizes a disconnection from the more carefree attitude of drug use in one's 20s, highlighting that such past actions may be seen as acceptable during that exploratory phase of life. There is a clear distinction made between youthful indulgence and the expectation of maturity that comes with turning 30, where engaging in drug use feels less forgivable and more indicative of a serious problem. This perspective reflects a societal view that associates adulthood with responsibility, particularly concerning one's health and behavior.
