I for one prefer to hope for the best in people, because the world is a much better place to live in if you think that way. Sure, I'm let down a lot of the time, but sometimes I'm not, and that's when having some faith in humanity really pays off.



and the other times when it doesnt pay off? you totally discount the other side of the equation. i guess there has to be a breaking point where your opinion changes to the other side. i can name 20 girls right now who have disappearing in a cloud of marijuana, cocaine, speed, or heroin smoke. call me a glass is half empty kind of guy. holly you do know that this girl is a mother, correct? that makes the fact that she cant get clean doubly evil/sad in my opinion.



Christian, you know I love you, but damn you are always so negative! Of course I have no idea what Sophia is up to at the moment and if she's clean or not. But I know sober people with insane stories who were addicts into their 30s, 40s, 50s... It's never too late. And yes I know she has a daughter, and for that I'm praying for her even harder (well I don't exactly pray, but you get my jist). You don't do drugs, I don't even think you drink. You have NO idea what it's like to be Sophia. Or any of the other 20 girls you just mentioned. Does it make their behavior justifiable? Of course not. I'm just trying to see them as human beings, not as objects of ridicule. All I said is that I'm hoping Sophia can get sober and get her life together. What exactly is wrong with that?

Written very beautifully Holly, I hate people who haven't been there and talk like they know. Drugs are the hardest things in the world to get off of, I talk from experience and not textbook like others do. Meetings do help, it can NOT be done alone, I dont care what anyone says lately about me, I know who I am and what I've been doing lately to improve myself and my life and I have exceeded beyond my expectations. So please dont talk about people with hardcore drug habits, especially stuff like Heroin and Benzo's, they are the worst of the worst to come off of and YES it can be done, you have to want this, truly want it and all the cliches are true, people, places and things, stay busy, when your antsy, call someone or go stick your ass in a meeting and stay there all day long till you vent and vent and lose the urge to use.
