I hear at my Nar-Anon meetings all the time and it makes my blood boil. People will share how bad they feel when their addict will tell them how difficult it is being an addict, waking up in the AM, feeling sick, trying hard to score drugs, how so much work is involved in that. I sit there thinking, WHAT THE HELL? Gee, it's hard for us as well being stolen from, lied to, spending money on rehabs, all the while having them relapse over and over again. Don't get me wrong I do have empathy but I'll be damned if I'm going to excuse all the bullshit that my son has pulled over the past three years.

It's astounding to read the major...Yes and yes. It's astounding to read the majority of materials on addiction out there, which completely leave out that *teeny* piece of information, as if it isn't relevant to the discussion, that every addict out there is outrageously selfish. Not only is that extremely relevant to the problem, it IS the problem!<br /><br />Thanks so much for cutting through all the bull shit, Charlie...Charlottenoreply@blogger.com
