DEEP THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Permanent Linkby Trictson on Mon Jul 22, 2019 3:29 am

After I had been clean from methamphetamine for a year I began to notice a few of things.

1) I still had problems that didn't just go away when the drug did.
2) The non-users in my life seemed to believe all the problems would go away when the drug did.
and
3) Since I still had problems I didn't know how to handle, they constantly suspected I was using.

Time upon time, I was questioned, and at the slightest show of strong emotion I was disbelieved. The constant demands to prove myself continued until I was so angry at them for setting me up for failure in their ignorance that I relapsed. In that relapse I came to a realization and finally asked,

"When is society going to get its own drug and stop being co-dependent on mine to validate their righteousness?"

That's not to say I have an excuse to continue in my addiction. I don't. I came to realize that by relapsing, I am in turn the enabler of an addiction that is a greater epidemic than any drug I've ever encountered. The addiction to the blame of drugs for any conflict of emotions with another person who once used.

This addiction is imperceptibly subtle and has reached almost every individual alive today.

Until direct AND indirect users both admit to their addictions and mutually seek recovery, the drugs have won the war.

Deep Thought of the Day

Deep Thought of the Day:

I look at you and see someone who understands what it's like to wonder if you still have a soul.

I look in your eyes and can almost....almost see that soul I'm not sure I have.

And if I can do the same for you we'll call it love and be content that we even got that close.

2. What To Say When............................

What to say when...........................someone calls you CRAZY.



"You're CRAZY!"

"I prefer the word "Psychotic"......it sounds more sophisticated!"


***Author Note*** There is a two-fold purpose of humorous comebacks like this: 1) Humor can often reset the tone of an argument back to a manageable level and give us that extra couple of seconds to keep our own emotions focused. AND 2) It puts the ball back in their court without leaving us in a defensive, more vulnerable position. Remember, sometimes we have to teach people that we like who we are, and provide them a suitable label to use. Then we can move on to what is REALLY bothering them and how to work it out. :wink:

1. What To Say When...................

Permanent Linkby Trictson on Sat Mar 25, 2017 6:13 pm

This is the first in a series of humorous comebacks for the functionally challenged which serve an ulterior positive purpose. :P

WHAT TO SAY WHEN..............Someone calls you a "tweeker".


The term "tweeker" has become one of the most over-used terms today by society, who has no idea why they use the term or where the term came from. So when someone calls me a "tweeker" I like to give them a little history lesson in my best 2nd grade teacher voice.

"Do you know why we were called "tweekers"?"

"No, why?"


"Because back in the days of P2P (the chemical orginially used to make Methamphetamine), the dope was strong enough to keep us up for two weeks at a time. We were "two weekers". After two weeks up we generally slurred our speech a lot and thus it became "tweekers". Of course, in 1995, P2P was no longer obtainable and that version of Meth was discontinued abruptly. Since then, they have created similar drugs but none have had the capability to make a "tweeker" out of anyone. You'll have to come up with a new nick-name for me if you expect me to take offense."

***Author Note*** There is nothing like a good, condescending history lesson to send someone arguing with you off the deep end. I recommend ducking, they are apt to throw something next. However, the point that I was making when I used this response, was that using stereotypical labels lack imagination and sincerity. By taking away the standard terminology used by everyone the person is forced to come up with real words fueled by real emotions. And THAT brings you one step closer to having a REAL relationship......eventually........after they calm down. :wink:

There are 3 kinds of people in this world.

1) People who do, and are damned.

2) People who don't, and are damned. AND

3) People who accept that damnation is inevitable, therefore are FREE to live life on their own terms, by their own decisions and ultimately overcome the judgmental damnation of the world.
