Enough

Fire breathing,
clenched teeth
tongue tied
I have had enough of his drug induced indifference.
Can't speak.......off with the ringer.
He says he isn't like the other druggies...
he must be special
how 'bout the one who died today 
but was resucitated twice? 
He wasn't like the others either...
Clearly he was special.
Enough of the pity party 
There are more than just you hurting on this big lonely rock.
Get over yourself man!

Great write, Bob. This friend of mine says, "I hate my husband-he's an alcoholic." "So am I," says I. "Oh, but you're different." She smiles. "Like hell I am!" I reply. You nailed it, Bob...booze and drugs....no good. Love, Daver

Barb - The one thing all drug addicts have in common is the fact that they are different from all the rest - I should know I was one for over 30 years - Have 5 years clean now - God Bless
