I had no clue before.<BR/><BR/>I used to joke to my family about how hard it was for them while I was drinking, but really felt that I was the one who had suffered the most.

I felt he should have taken better care of me in that moment and he didn't. He was a total and complete asshole, and so was 'G.' What are we gonna do though? Rub salt in our wounds? I say punch him in the head once, then if you want, you can kiss it better. bad junkyMantraminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478758642362890024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077562163557081479.post-20555408297311935242007-08-19T20:56:00.000-04:002007-08-19T20:56:00.000-04:00I hate that feeling.

I dont know why we dont think the best. <BR/>Maybe because were used to getting the bad news we try to prepare ourselves for it.<BR/>He was mad?

That sets the stage for what I can expect What I am learning, though, is that I have to practice seeing what the best could be and set the stage for my expectations to be good ones. And it is something I have to practice over and over to get better at. <BR/><BR/>Death only looms when it is expecting an invitation.Wayward Sonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660071593042700069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077562163557081479.post-69708286057490380562007-08-19T18:47:00.000-04:002007-08-19T18:47:00.000-04:00I would have done the exact same thing... ughhh i...I would have done the exact same thing... ughhh i can almost feel that twisting, churning nervous feeling in the bottom of my stomach.Addicted to no onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036804636182281182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2077562163557081479.post-24895641992329117282007-08-19T16:56:00.000-04:002007-08-19T16:56:00.000-04:00See, these are the places where he becomes such a ...See, these are the places where he becomes such a fuckwad -- sorry, but he really does.<BR/>It's HIS fucking behavior that has created all of this concern in the first fucking place and then when someone is scared, he has the nerve to be pissed off.<BR/>He's really got to learn how to take some responsibility for his past behavior and how it has had a HUGE impact on the people who love him. AND THAT HIS ADDICTION HAS CONSEQUENCES!!!!!<BR/>And this, to me, is what he REALLY misses out on by not being in recovery -- to learn to get beyond his own self-centeredness and realize he has responsibility to others just by being alive.<BR/>Sorry for the rant. If I were there, I would have just come over and slapped him before I posted.<BR/>Love to you, girl,<BR/>ScoutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
