You were my best friend. I loved you more than life, and gave anything you needed willingly and without expectation. Unlike the losers you spend your time with, who use booze and coke to get you into bed. I still love you, but I can’t stand by and watch your life fall apart, or watch my favorite person sink into addiction. How many times did you cry on my shoulder when men treated you like a whore? Watching you embrace the role is far, far more painful.
I love you, K, more than anything. Being away from you for the last week has been murder, and I’ve cried more tears in your name than I can count. You’ve been abusive and cruel to me since December. This is not how I’ve treated you, and I did nothing to deserve it. I know your addictions are at fault, and despite my unconditional love for you I have to love myself enough to walk away from you. I know I’m not done mourning you yet. I just hope I’m only mourning your absence from my life, and don’t find myself mourning the end of yours. You’re always in my thoughts, my dearest, sweetest friend. —The Man Upstairs

  1. OP you are doing the right thing by walking away. It is nothing you can change. If and when the addict wants to stop or get help he will. Nothing you can do in the line of worrying or stressing yourself to the limit is going to help. Take good care of yourself and stop trying to do God’s work. Let HIM do his job.

  2. wogdog; I hate to break it to you, but god stopped doing his job a long long time ago. I’m just surprised that people still think he did a job in the first place. We evolved as a species, then we wrote the bible, then we built churchs, what was god’s job again?

  3. “Why do I miss you?”
    Not getting enough range time, perhaps?
    Prior Practice Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

  4. Sonic you have your beliefs or not and I’ll have mine ok? Im not getting into that discussion again.

  5. Translation:
    I’ve gotten tired of being friend-zoned by you. I watch, in extreme envy, as other guys get a pounce at you…but never me. I will take cheap potshots at you on anonymous forums about your “whorish” behavior, and claim that my “unconditional love” for you got abused.
    Why, oh why, did you not let me even stick it on just once?

  6. Hay, if God wasn’t with her then Wog would ,strictly speaking, be drinking alone and that’s one of the signs of an alcoholic.

  7. PG: My response to you is the same as the one to the other non believer. To each his/her own. K?

  8. I’ve already looked into that option, zZz

    ……. she turned me down…….

    It’s a sad, sad day in Captain Town.

  9. I’m jus’ jokin’

    It’s actually a fantastic day

    I got accepted! I’m gonna be a college student again!

    AND no coke whores rejected me 🙂

    win win

  10. Congrats Captain! (For the college thing, I mean…..Well, for BOTH……I guess?)

    Yay! Book learnin’! What are you going to be studying? (Besides coke whores, that is)

  11. ‘Clown or Barber?’ – As if! Those careers are far below the Captain. I’m going for full-time mannequin training, bitches! 🙂

    …..actually, it’s Carpentry, to go along with my Architecture Diploma. One step closer to starting my own company!

  12. Excellent…. I’ll get you to build a secret bookcase door for my panic room.
    Wait, I rent.>: (
    BLAST and DAMN!

  13. “Take good care of yourself and stop trying to do God’s work. Let HIM do his job.”

    You mean giving AIDs to African babies and helping sports teams win championships? If there is a god then he gives zero fucks about the poor and hungry and seems to love helping rich happy people become richer and happier.

  14. For the record, I would love to be a barber. One of the old fashioned ones with hot towels, straight razor shaves, talcum powder, bay rum……blood letting. (Alright, maybe not the last one.)

  15. Ivan I’ll commission you one of those fancy Wooden Tanks… http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1059/5943343…
    Of course, yours would come with the optional Catapult or Trebuchet.

    I don’t actually think being a Barber is a menial job (a clown is), I could never do the job myself though. I don’t like touching strangers. Just one of those things

    What the green guy said.

  17. hfx_godzilla …. I’ve often wondered about that mindset of the religiously challenged .
    God gets all the credit for the good things, but never the blame for the really bad shit ! When you try to talk to them ( those piously religious people so worried about us heathens) about really nasty evil things happening & why we question their faith instead of mindlessly following along in the herd…they speak of how their loving saviour is the only one who can save us ,from the devil , hell etc . etc. etc.
    All the while blissfully stund to the fact they say it, they point it out in their book … That God, Created everything …
    which must then mean … god created evil , the devil & everything else thats really bad like ebola & cancer … If They Are Right about God .

    So god’s responsible for all the bad shit & this crap about free will is exactly that bullshit. So yeah, I personally want to stay as far as fuckin’ possible away from that invisible all powerful despot as I can & if hell’s where I gotta hide, sounds like thats better than being anywhere near ‘paradise’ with a whack job like that in charge ( & you know I’ll be if there’s as much fire & brimstone & stuff like that …there’ll be no winter ~;)

  18. The bible told me all bad things that happen are a blessing in disguise. It also told me that when god makes something bad happen its to remind you of how little you need and to not get so cocky in life. Praise the lord, thank you jesus.

  19. Challenge accepted!

    Expect an awesome table for Christmas, zZz, years from now when I finally complete it.

  20. @ OB: Runnn Forrest, runnnnnnn!!!

    @ Captain: congratulations! I’m glad you aren’t going to clown school. Clowns are creepy… Right up there with zombies and (gasp) spiders!

  21. As usual, the thread was hijacked by some stupid conversation about secret panic rooms and ghille suits! The way you people hijack threads is so rude to the posters. Why don’t you go start your own chat room if you can’t even first acknowledge what was written without turning the subject to yourselves??

  22. Re: this thread, it mad me sad. A woman who is too blinded by drugs and self-loathing to appreciate the extent of OB’s love. OB, some people just don’t want to be helped, or they’re simply not ready. Also, until she learns to love herself, you don’t stand a chance.

  23. OP is very lucky to have someone who cares about her enough to stay,for the time being anyway.

    She may be ready to accept help but the many protective layer’s of her wall, make it difficult to penetrate and make her understand people(in general), don’t want to hurt her any longer.

    Doesn’t make OP stupid just cautious.Stupid people; Darwin’s Law takes care of.
