Man, talk about some major league crazy! Yesterday morning my wife found a little bit of weed in my office, I told her I had quit for her about a month back and did for about 2 weeks. The problem is I was only quitting because she wanted me to. Sadly this was not the first time I had lied to her about my "substance" use. I had been a heavy drinker in the past and while I am a heavy smoker now (I smoke about 2-3 times a day), it is somehow now ruining my life.
Forget the fact that I have lost about 40 pounds (granted, taking adderall helped), I drink MAYBE once a month an then it is like 2 beers (I used to do a 12 pack a night, every night), I am up for a raise (due to putting in like 65 hour weeks) and she and I (my wife) were doing great). She spun this like she was confronting me about my heroin use. I mean I actually loled when she told me pot was ruining my life.
I explained that pot is "ruining my life" just like it would if I were arrested. It has nothing to do with the act of me smoking pot, it has everything to do with other people (her or cops) not wanting me to. Now does it not make more sense to accept someone for who they are and not ask them to change? She claims that since I acknowledge that I was an alcoholic that I can now never touch ANY mind altering substance again. Of course this is funny because I can now drink 2 beers and say, "no thanks, I am driving".
If she wasn't a woman (and actually understood logic) then I would tell her to prove to me that she wasn't an alcoholic (she drinks like 3 times a week, so there is no way she is but she enjoys it like we enjoy pot) then she should give up alcohol for the rest of her life, just because I say so.
