We addicts are a very sensitive lot - our feelings get hurt easily - we have lots of defenses = most have been hurt horribly - even if it's as a direct result of our own actioins- but have usually been damaged somewhere along the line. To have someone pose a provocative question - get some really good feedback, and then say - "Well, I would NEVER"..... well, you get the picture.

Never, and I repeat, never say never, my friend. None of us decided that when we grew up we wanted to be a drug addict!!!

What is it that brought you to this site, by the way?
