Of course no-one is a grateful/delighted addict, but today at my kinda first AA meeting ( the first one where my eyes/ears were more open than before), two people said they were a grateful addict.
Of course,I understand what they mean, but right now I am not a grateful addict, I am fizzing raging, angry. I do not want to be an addict... This post has been edited by spaghetti on August 1, 2011, 2:19 PM | ||

edited coz of silly typos, typing in too much of a hurry - can actually smell, joking, spell - come to think of it can't smell properly either due to years of abuse!

Hmmm...I always took that to mean grateful that s/he had found a meeting and camaraderie of fellow addicts who understand, grateful to be alive...? Gosh, who the heck is grateful to be an addict?
But I do know what you mean, spaghetti...it's okay to be angry...you might even find yourself mourning a little...part of the process... | ||

Hi Spaghetti,
Like you say I am sure nobody wants to be a addict. And you are alowed to be angry and rant and rave because you feel without hope and at your ends wit not knowing how long you can still take this. But maybe a gratefull addict means (I dont know just wondering what it will mean) that you are gratefull that you are making everts to help yourself, you dont give up, you go to meetings that is brave steps and unlike other addicts who dont make and maybe never had a change to make it or the courage. You have to fight harder and stronger than other people to live and stay alive and that makes you gratefull that you can do that. Just a thought not sure if it make sense as I am not a addict but I learn out of my addict son's mistake and see how he handles it. He has heroin addict friends who never made it and overdosed. May God keep you strong and enable you to look back and say I made it. God bless Priscilla |
