We’ve been the best of friends for a long time. “Joined at the hip” you’ve called us. And I love you very much. So much that I put you before anything else in my life, wrong as that may have been. But its breaking my heart to see the road you’re on. The people who treat you like dirt, but distract you enough with pretty words that you accept it…hearing your mother weep with concern over her daughter and grandson…watching you lie to everyone around you. We were so close and lately you’ve been abusive. Throwing insults and fists at me, who has never done a thing to warrant it. Yelling at me for doing things you asked me to do.
I love you so much, my dear partner in crime, but I can’t stand by and watch you do this to yourself. You need help, and I wish you’d go get it. It broke your heart when I told you how toxic you’ve become, and to stay away from me and mine…but it broke my heart too. Walking away from you is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I don’t have a choice any more than you. Take care of yourself, please. The guys who trade a bottle of whiskey for entry to your bed won’t be there when things fall apart for you.
I hope I will be, but I don’t know any more. —Got Some Sudden Clarity

  1. More’s no Curt Hennig, of that I am sure.

    Is there a version of AA that doesn’t require you to ‘yield to a higher power’ and all that preachy stuff?

  2. No Hamzzzz there isn’t. That is what makes the program actually work, duh…. It is only when man admits he cannot cure himself and invites a higher power in that it actually works. That is the principle behind the AA program. So if you are a non believer you would do best to try Antabuse or something else.

  3. Why didn’t you say I could get into those pants with just whiskey. I thought I had to bring coke too.

  4. these days when addicts say they use coke it’s crack they’re referring to,isn’t it?

    Anyone
    what’s the best way to use pot without having to smoke it?

  5. well, i use my pots for cooking dinner…if you keep the heat down and don’t let the pot run dry it won’t smoke….

  6. The only reason it works is to admit you suck and need some imaginary person to help you? What about… ya know… someone who you can actually see and talk to? What a stupid premise. It works on the weak minded… I’m sure of that.

    boru, vaporizer….. ‘so I’ve heard’.
    none of that yucky tar…

  7. Boru – What zZz said, a vaporizer (if you have questions, I can answer).
    – OR – Canna butter, make brownies 🙂

  8. If they do wake up one day, I hope you will be there for her. She will need someone who has compassion. Be that pillar.
