I'm going to hide behind the chair.

Morrison, I know in the past I have had instances where I felt threatened by the very ones who were trying to help me and felt they were trying to control me. I only think you are getting a little book kick in the hopes of causing you to take a deeper look at where you really are. We all have to do that. It sucks, but is a necessary evil. I hope you are feeling better.

Yep. I am an asshole. Did I get to you boots. Good. You know what? You are complelty right, and you know I can't stand it. Oh, I'm gonna say something that you may not like. Why do I rip on you. I am exactlyyyyyyyyyy like you. Well, despite the fact that Im messed up at the moment. I truly love you, but you are good at getting under my skin. So, I don't blame you for never writing to me again, I deserve that. But, don't think for a second that we are not the same in away. I could be wrong. You called me a smartass in another thread, and I went off a bit. And, if you think I'm a baby, well, that is your opinion, and I respect that. I am sorry, and won't blame you for hating me. You know why? Because I am an asshole. You'll get no argument for me on that.

the only thing you and i have in common morrison is alcohol and the fact that i love you. that is it... i unlike you am doing something about my abusive nature. .you on the other hand aren't. so please enlighten me on all the ways that we are so much alike. because frankly i don't see it.. you are amazingly selfish and killing yourself. i on the otherhand have paid $3200 and am going to rehab and am honestly one of the most generous people i know. so yes do you get under my skin? probably only because i care about you, you get under luv and more 2 as well because those sisters love you too. but don't flatter yourself. i have spent at least 20 years in transformational work digging very deep to please uncover all these things i must release. you haven't spent a moment that i can tell. and i don't hate you darling. i'm just not going to be your hitching post for abuse anymore. and by now you are on your 3rd 6 pack so we shall wait til morning inbetween your next round of drinking.

Okay boots. I called you months ago. When was the last time I PM'd you? Hmm. Months ago. I am selfish. I never denied it. So, we are not the same. I notice you feel the need to point out that you are smarter than me. Very proud of you. I'm putting you on ignore, and you should do the same with me. Okay? I wish you the best. I truly do. Oh, and you're right. We are not the same.

Morrison, we all have infatuations, it's so normal and so good.

You and Boots have been close through both of your journeys. Even though I may not post, I do read.

I wish you the best. Know that.

Morrison, first of all, you are not an asshole. I don't know what has passed between you and BCB, but it's none of my business anyway. I do know you are NOT an asshole. OK, got that? You are a smart and funny guy with a lot to share... who happens to have a problem we all share and all struggle with.

Second of all, regarding infatuation, I'm pretty sure it has happened to us all... many times for some. The main question is-- Is it JUST an infatuation or is it something more? If you still feel this way after talking with her, it could be something more.

I believe there are "soulmates" out there for all of us-- probably more than just one, but many of us never meet even just one. Some of us are lucky enough to meet one, become infatuated, fall in love (a step further than infatuation) and spend our lives together.

If you feel so strongly attracted to this person, that it is getting in the way of your doing things (things that you even manage while drinking), then I think you should at least act on it and see if it really is something "more". You'll know pretty quickly, but you've got to at least spend a little time together first.

It happened to me once-- Infatuation in a BIG way-- I could not even think straight, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat. After a few days I made a move on the guy... we've been married for 18 years. My heart still skips a beat when he walks in the room.

Morrison -all I can say is that all the time you think you're an asshole, you'll drink. And all the time you drink you'll think you're an asshole.

Stop one of them - and the other will follow more easily.

This lass may be someone put there to help you on your journey. maybe you've been put there to help her on hers - but you'll not know why. Maybe speaking will disastrous, maybe brilliant. It's your call...and your call only. Life's one big risk...

But if you don't like the guy in the mirror, will you trust anyone else who does without sabotaging the realtionship?

Fall for HIM now....

I think this thread was about morrison's infatuation, and he wanted to hear about other people's opinions or experience with infatuation.

people stop drinking when they are good and ready.

peace

Infatuation - I had it too! Met this man almost a decade ago - but he was married. Damn! LOL!

Morrison, keep your chin up. Tough love can be the best love, at times. Bootsy cares about you, as the rest of us do.

[beatle]

Infatuation

Thank you trixie. you said it alright.

[bootcampbarbie]

Infatuation

yes, i agree completely... well said trixie.... people will quit when they are good and ready. and hopefully if one is drinking and binging morning noon and night for months on end... well then hopefully he will quit before it kills him.. and so on to infatuation.. yep, why bother worrying about that when this thread is about infatuation. i mean he was afterall just one of my friends i loved a great deal. so correct. make sure to think about everything else except that you are drinking morning noon and night daily for months and using and continue to get on the luv thread and ask for help but not go to rehab or take the help offered or love offered. i'm complete. good luck. god be with you and infatuate all you want. no worries. i shant be engaging with you. no need to put me on ignore. sistah boots

Late dashing in to this meeting of minds, as ever! Morrison, I say get a good night's sleep, shave, spruce yourself up, and ask her out!

Waiting to be "perfect" for the "perfect love" might take too long, and by then she'll be long gone. Present yourself as you are, bags of empties and all, and you may be surprised to find that she's a sympathetic soul.

Okay, it might bomb. But then, it might ignite! Risk it. I am crossing my fingers and hoping she likes you, too!
