When I grow up........
Permalink  
 


When I was a little kid, barely old enough to walk, I used to dream of the day that I would grow up and be an alcoholic. As my life progressed, I longed for the time when I would be able to crash cars and almost kill myself and other people. When I was a teenager and beginning my career as an alcoholic, I loved learning to hug the toilet and puke until I bled. At that time, I thought to myself, "I hope some day I can go to A.A. meetings every night for two years and bury two sponsors!"

When I got married, I wished that I could make the woman who held my hand and said "I do" so miserable that she would attempt suicide on several occasions. I wanted children so she could raise them and I could deprive them of a father.

Eventually, all my dreams came true..........

Sorry, hj, can't answer your questions. You'd have to ask the Author, and I have no clue who that would be. A friend emailed me this, I just thought it was fitting for the circumstances here of the last few days..Doll

Wow- that's an interesting and disturbing story - I can see much truth to it though sadly


 


I think I started to "grow up" when I admitted that I was powerless over alcohol. I still have a "world of work" to do however.


It's ironic that other people see the changes in me before I do.
