What’s that expression: INSANITY = doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
So moving forward – when you do not receive the check next week, what would be the point in contacting him again? Think about your next move and how you will handle your disappointment and anger once again.
You hearing words from an active addict that they are making you some kind of a promise do something they say they are going to do. He’s also managed to somehow make you feel that he’s not clean because you are no longer with him.
Yes money is important, yes we expect people we loan money to or who own us money because of their behavior to be stand up people and repay us……..but we are not talking about stand up people we are talking about active addicts.
HOOKS = He has his hooks into you with his words, you have your hook into him with this money. See how his words have engaged you and stirred your feelings. Your avenue to him is this money. Yes money is important and if you are truly that strapped, borrow from your sister or family other wise let it go when and if you do not receive a check from him. Cause the next scene in all this will be a check bouncing or not in the amount you are expecting. More drama to keep you hooked and call him where he keeps you hooked with his words. It won’t end until you end it once and for all.
A nice rosey colored vision is that he does what he says with no further repercussion but the reality with addicts is that is hardly ever goes that way.
