Could Being Molested Be the Reason I Hate Drugs? Serious Answers Only Please?

Question by Mini: Could being molested be the reason I hate drugs? Serious answers only please?
I was molested repeatedly as a child for approximately five years by my older brother. It’s been 6 years since it stopped, and as far as I know I am completely over it. I’ve had a serious boyfriend for three years; we have a decent relationship that I’m very happy in and we have a great sex life. I’ve forgiven my brother completely and wish him the best. My brother was into hard drugs for a number of years, including some of the time he was molesting me. He has since cut back a little; now he only drinks, smokes, smokes pot, does shrooms…etc. I now have a strong dislike for recreational drug use. My boyfriend would never use hard drugs, but he smokes cigarettes, drinks, and has recently started smoking pot again. I let him do such things because I don’t want to control him, but it bothers me deeply and has caused a lot of problems with us. When asked why I don’t like drugs, I can never come up was a suitable answer. I was wondering, could I associating drug use with my past experiences of being molested? If so, how do I get over this so my boyfriend and I will stop butting heads? Thanks
Maybe it wont change anything, but here are a few things that are being misunderstood.

My boyfriend knows about my past, and he hates my brother for it. He always chooses me over drugs, If I tell him to quit he does. He started smoking pot again only a few days ago because we talked about it and I said it was okay. Before that he had been clean for a very long time. He’s not using drugs as an escape, but rather to relax at home when he’s by himself. He doesn’t smoke around me if I say not to, and he always goes outside to smoke a cigarette.

Also, my brother was always sober while he molested me. And it wasn’t that he held me down and made me, I just grew up with it and didn’t think it was bad or weird (at the time). He has since moved out of the house, and is getting married in a month. I hardly talk to him. He stopped abruptly because of someone finding pictures of me on his computer, and has never mentioned it since.
