Nothing. I was just curious. The message I got had nothing to do with me, doesn't make me mad - I'm kind of indifferent to it. But it made me curious if this is permanent - not just for him, but for other addicts as well. I also have a sister who is an alcoholic/addict who has the same attitude toward her life. How she "deserves" so much that she hasn't worked for.

I know when I met him he wasn't like this. At least not that I experienced. So it seemed (to me) that this attitude started with his increasing drug use. I was curious if this is something that can ever change - not just for him - for any addict. I know he is not in recovery. That is a different animal alltogether. He is abstaining from drugs because - well, he has no other real option right now. I'm not fooling myself into thinking he is anywhere but exactly where he is. Abstaining, in denial, and "entitled". Whatever. He's not living with me so it really has no impact on me - Other than that I still care about him.
