Yes, sir.....I stand corrected. I also agree. /////////////When that stupid commercial comes on and tells me "Drug addition is a disease...." I just want to rip them a new ass wide open. Drug addiction is chosen not inherited. When I got in trouble for alcohol as a youth.....applying that mildly....had to go to a class. That class tried to convince me alcohol was uncontrollable. WTF! I chose to drink! I had the control! Later tried AA because I needed to try. They too, wanted to drone into my head it was uncontrollable.
After going for 6 months straight..... I had enough. I left those people behind. Later to go claim my 1 year chip sober, I got ridiculed because I had not been to "their" meetings. I ripped them, including the chair a new ass, the meeting was called short. I did not hold back.......the same guy was there complaining about the same fucking bottle of vodka, haunting him, continuing to drink it. "Does Backus fill your cup?" .....I asked. The same dude was complaining about methadone not making it right......."Well, at some point you got to quit........that crap, too." Then the whino whining about Backus filling his cup back up and complaining about not having his wife........"Really, and we all know "Backus" did not fill your cup......."YOU DID". I had to explain the glaringly evident to somewhat rational people. Unceremoniously, I should say.......Meeting was called short. Crowd outside surrounded me. Oh, shit!
About six people wanted to know how I had kicked the habit.........
Explained that I had segregated myself from those who continued to use. I went away, completely away, from the enablers, from the complainers, from those who needed me to be dependent in order to have a place to control through meetings.
Well, the chairman about had a fit....told me not to come back. "Why" ...I asked. His response was a open mouth. "Is it because you need me to be pathetic and dependent?"............
Later found out that chapter disbanded, due to lack of participants.
I apologize for the rant.
Can we get back to that Soylent Green thing now? That is so much more twisted and interesting?
