That pretty much sums up my latest couples meeting.
I won't go into details why we are there and the rest of the blah blahs but I discovered something that I find disturbing.

If we would have to listen to all the people involved with recovery and addictions, we are all doomed.
Well, not doomed, because they can save you as long as you admit to the fact that you have an addictive personality and you will always have an addictive personality, THERE IS NO CURE!! The best has yet to come: WE ALL HAVE ADDICTIVE PERSONALITIES!!

Yes, my friends, watching TV for 5 minutes after you get home from work means you have an ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY!
Booting up your computer for 30 minutes to check you email at home means you have an addicitive personality!!
Choosing to do anything that makes you feel better means YOU HAVE AN ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY!

We are CO-DEPENDENT! We need Air to breath and that means we are ADDICTED TO AIR!!

I gave in and I finally admitted:

I AM ADDICTED TO LIFE!

I want to live to the fullest
I want to strive for success
I want to feel that I have done everything it takes to fulfill my dreams

sorry, I am addicted since I am abusing life to feel OK with me.

what a crock.

How can anyone expect to save his self if you have been told that you will always be addicted to something? It's rediculous and quite frankly it made me realize that the 12 step program isn't as good as I thought it was.

See, I am not the addicted one in this relationship, I am just a guy who just ended up marrying someone that has some problems.
While I am going through my self-discovering process I chose to give our relationship one last try through a professional therapist. Yup, the same therapist that tells me that everyone has an addictive personality.

I know what I am doing with my life: I am going to open a recovery home and become rich in 5 days because EVERYONE NEEDS RECOVERY!!!
Nobody escapes from addiction!!!

what a farse.

And then they all cry because drugs and alcohol are a big problem in the world. No Shit, Sherlock. You just told them they will always be addicted to something no matter what they do!

Wait, I just changed my mind...

I want to be addicted to not listening to stupid people anymore.... What do you mean by "That will never happen?"
