It sure would be nice to identify what the difference is between someone who has the addiction "genetics" and those who don't. As well as way to work around or all together prevent the issue. Fucking human brain...
I know text on a page that isn't detailed well can leave out necessary context and I feel like that's happened with that post. In no way am I supporting the idea that mental toughness should be able to prevail over addiction, or that someone is devoid of effort or care if they can't beat addiction. It's hard to keep your head up and take the high road in life. It's harder to get back on the high road when you're sidelined from it, nevermind having an addiction to compete with at the same time. It's the epitome of continuously getting kicked when you're down.
and pizza money. Don't forget the pizza money.we had a member a while back collecting everyones ip addresses
I'd agree with this sentiment..if you were able to stop when you chose to- you weren't/aren't an addict or an alcoholic. You hit a rough patch.
lol, I use crayons to write compared to real literature, in content, knowledge and writing ability. My mother was an English lit major prior to law school and I ran from all things literary because of it. In hindsight I regret it but whatever, I'm a science and math guy now. I've bumbled my way into a career that I love so fuck it.Man I was reading this and was thinking Icky a smart motherfucker with a flair for writing!
Then I seen Dr Thomas lol.
