This has been an interesting week. First on Monday, I got a phone call from Krista, she told me that we're better off as friends and then proceeded to give me the "Nice Guy" speech that I've heard so many times before. I was upset about it at first, but then thought about it.....she rarley picked up her phone, never answered when she told me to

You're completely right in a lot of ways with this entry, the main thing being the way people treat you when you've just come out of an addiction.

I've had several addictions I've come out of, and people do and say things (sometimes without even realizing it) that can hurt so terribly. Sometimes they're trying to help, and show their concern, but if you've never had to deal with an addiction yourself, you have no idea what it's like to have to be rid of something that was an enormous part of your life for soooooo long.

That's just the thing; yes, an addiction is bad, we all know that. But it doesn't stop it from being a huge part of your life that will take some time to get rid of. To me it almost felt like a part of me died, or someone close to me died, when I quit my addictions. And nobody really understood that.

And as for your heartache, well...I'm surprise people actually think that that's something you can just GET OVER. It takes time. Something like that, you can't just wake up one morning and be over it.

Just ignore everyone who's making you feel bad about those things. Chances are they just don't know what they're talking about. It's sad, but at least this experience will teach you what people want to hear when they're in the same situation so you can be a better friend.

Good luck with everything, though.

Thank you Kim. I really appreciate that, and it's nice to know that someone knows exactly how I feel addiction situation
