She said that the difference between an emotionally healthy person and an emotionally <I>un</I>healthy person is that the emotionally healthy one deals with their problems in a "healthy" way. <BR/><BR/>Thing is, who's to say what's unhealthy? Where does the line get drawn? Is there a difference between a person who is "addicted" to loving a drug addict and a person who is "addicted" to loving a person with no ambition? Is there a difference between using alcohol to temporarily fix your problems and using heroin to temporarily fix your problems? Is it an emotionally "healthier" thing to drink a bellini or a shot of grey goose? Or does it really just depend on your personality, so it's subjective and thus doesn't have a definitive answer?<BR/><BR/>My bad if I' heeing and hawing. The convo with my mentor really stuck with me.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552007642091682363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-27785618154773608382008-08-20T16:14:00.000-04:002008-08-20T16:14:00.000-04:00I've never been one to be curious about drugs.

As I get older, I've decided that I'm just not a drinker, so I'm *sure* I'm not one for other things. I just can't hang, lolTrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12985124335902975807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-85656857422639799992008-08-20T13:11:00.000-04:002008-08-20T13:11:00.000-04:00This is interesting because when I worked at the s...This is interesting because when I worked at the strip club I got an up close and personal look at addiction. Maybe I'll write about that some day. But what I saw was a spectrum ranging from tried & true addicts, people who were functional addicts, and people who dabbled because everyone was doing coke and it was sooo fun. There was a general laissez faire attitude about doing drugs. It's like 'I'm doing it,' you should do it/try it to, matter of fact here have some of mine. And that's how it all starts w/ curiosity. It's just some people get in too deep.Rum Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675412616844332162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-85151459085778163062008-08-20T11:55:00.000-04:002008-08-20T11:55:00.000-04:00@anonymous: thanks-- i couldn't remember@torrance:...@anonymous: thanks-- i couldn't remember<BR/><BR/>@torrance: interesting i dunno, ain't nothing chic about drugs. oh and neither, a waxologist waxes body parts-- which ones I'll keep mumBellinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059515033669847759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-40570653861409186902008-08-20T10:10:00.000-04:002008-08-20T10:10:00.000-04:00i think they look at drug abuse as an attention ge...i think they look at drug abuse as an attention getter and as being retro chic<BR/><BR/>whats a waxoligist - floors or cars?All-Mi-T [Thought Crime] Rawdawgbuffalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843040863123899426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617426134849640048.post-45100240552734271542008-08-20T09:13:00.000-04:002008-08-20T09:13:00.000-04:00The "A" is for Abuse.The "A" is for Abuse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
