No, I don't think I did anything so terribly wrong. That is part of my point, actually. It isn't so easy to know who is and who is not an addict. As someone mentioned, maybe the surgeon is just a recreational user. You live your life, you have to be ready for things to happen. My previous knowledge and experience, some gained here, helped me know what to do when I was suddenly faced with an angry person who had been abusing substances. I am glad that I had that to draw from.
I also explained what the point of sharing my story was...I would like to help others learn from my experience. And to receive support from those who have support to share.
I don't see the point of anyone's quick assumptions and misreadings of a story. I clearly stated that I went to the hotel with the police. There are lots of stories here and we all get lazy or misread things. But not every story is the same. And we don't all have to live the same way to find ourselves in a good place.
