Ah, flash from the past. (A blog much like the ones I wrote years ago. It's nice being the same as I always was. Maybe I'm coming back.)

Q: Do alcoholics have withdrawal?


Perhaps addicts don't feel like they're "addicts" because to them, they need what they're addicted to.. to be the way they enjoy being, or to endure life the way that certain substance or thing provides aid for. To them, it's just an edit to life- an alteration that they're choosing. And they're choosing so, because they fancy it much better- or at least some better. They think they're controlling it, and maybe they are! Outsiders are so privvy to be against every thing ever (just along different parts of one enormous timeline), that we see what someone is doing, ..and if WE aren't doing it, then it's "wrong" and *there has to be a word to describe that wrong* (*: thoughts): "..addiction." Really though, ..we are all individuals. We're each proud to claim that when it comes in handy/best suits us, but when it comes to other people, or our faults, our blametudes, our issues, and our coping-mechanisms, decisions, alterations, ideas, and tools even, --we're gawked at, accused of blasphemy, and we're put aside to be mocked and humiliated and to be questioned severly, usually, as if we are wrong. As if we are "addicts." When really, ..all we're doing is taking care of our individual self, in the way that works best for who we are and who we want to be and what we want to live like, and experience.

All I'm saying is: fuck you.
