Wow! I was going to make a thread on this exact same thing!
I never grew up with an A parent, but an abusive one. I have almost always attracted addict/or A friends. I just met some new people the other night when I went out, and of course gave them my number, but I don't think they are the kind of people I need in my life right now. They have called me since Sunday, and I haven't answered my phone either. I feel so cruel, I just don't know how to be nice about telling them to go away????
