I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He's the only person I've ever been With that doesn't use, drink, or smoke ciggs
He owns a few businesses. We were doing really well for s small town, and now everything is getting all messes up. I really thought that part of my life was over but it's like I'll never beable to escape my past. Now it looks like the past will be the future wth! I'm mixed up in the head, can a sociopath ever really love someone anyway
Sounds like you've got so so much to deal with on top of just dealing with recovery. I don't know anything about sociopaths but please don't go back to dancing or put yourself in any other situation you know would put you right back where you started, it's not worth it xx

The places we go in our heads hey?!

Wow! I just found out that the sister of one of the people I housesit for just had bad breaks in leg/ankle/heel, both sides involved. What a shock! I feel so sorry for her! And it reminds me that I really, really do NOT want any such thing. No drug is worth any of that. Reminds me how sick my addiction is, that I would even contemplate such a thing.

We really do come to love our addictions more than ourselves. That's huge. Something to work on and heal!!!

Ouch, poor thing. I wish her a speedy recovery.


I think we love the drugs and what they do more than ourselves hey? I know there is a survival instinct in me though. I'm not quite like Jim Morrison, living for the end. Not always anyway, only on my darkest days.

Are you a Doors fan, too? They're my desert island band, you know if you were stuck and could only bring one band/album. Listening to the Doors has gotten me through some tough times! And I'm sad he checked out how he did. He was a genius, though a tortured one to be sure. I imagine if he'd got clean, really worked on himself, what would he be doing now? Actually, Ray Manzarek wrote a "fiction" book about that. It was a sweet story.

Here's how pathetic I am. My DOC is alcohol and I am really struggling this afternoon, and when I saw your post I thought, yeah, take an oxy (left over from recent survery). Despite the fact that I quit them three days after surgery because they're not my addiction--I still have some and I want to go to the pub so bad...

see? I'm gonna keep reading SR.

Yeah, but in thea end it was his inability to deal with it that killed him I think. I don't think he ever expected to live, so he just blew it out. Still, I can't help but think what he could have done if he stuck around. I guess I'm just glad he shared his genius with us! He was like a lost shaman.....

That's not pathetic. Seems natural to me.

Get rid of the oxy! I can't have anything in the house at all. It's not unusual to swap additions!

Don't go to the pub, keep reading here. I hope my post wasn't a trigger for you

When I was drinking I swear I used to deliberately screw up my life, cause myself (emotional) pain so I'd have an excuse to drink- I see this as being pretty similar to wishing for an injury so you can use opiates. It's the addictive part of the brain talking.

Yeah I agree, emotional/physical pain. All 'good' excuses to drug or drink.
