The whole thing has been a giant leap forward in my quality of life, is what I'm trying to say. It's not perfect by a long shot—I've still got stuff to work out, but I wouldn't have ever noticed I had anything to sort out if I had carried on. I can't pretend I don't miss hiding in bathroom stalls with my friends, but my life is immeasurably better without drugs and alcohol.Unhappiness in and of itself feels like it was a good enough reason to stop, and maybe if you feel like drinking and drugs are making you miserable you should try to stop for a minute to see if it makes a difference to your life too. I don't know; I've never written anything this earnest in my life before and I don't really know how to finish this without being sanctimonious or preachy. I'm just saying if you think you're sad, work out why you're sad, stop doing the thing that is making you sad and, hopefully, things will get better from there.Follow Robert on Instagram and Twitter.Watch on Noisey: 'Skepta—Top Boy, the Documentary'
