Something I said on a few occasions-maybe more than a few-the caexgf would scold "Oh, you think you're so much better than me" and my thought, which I replied with, was that if I thought I was 'so much better' than she, why was I involved with her? A truly 'better' or more correctly, healthier person would have walked away long before I did.

We have matching illnesses, the only advantage I might have is the ability to think with a mind that isn't clouded by alcohol or drugs, and it wasn't that big an advantage, as it turned out!
