He had the fucking audacity to act all condescendingly towards me for being attracted to Sean (older coworker who I really care about, who has ALWAYS gone out of his way to be nice to me even when he's in a bad mood) because he's a recovering heroin addict, meanwhile he was telling me about his fucking blackout drunk episodes and coke addiction

he likes to think of himself as a practicing junkie

"I'm on the straight and narrow now, getting my shit together :)"

"I don't expect help :)"

I'm sorry, but part of becoming a man (as I see it as a woman who's around a lot of men) is realizing you must swallow your pride and accept that sometimes you need help or to be humble

He's a boy

>pouring grease on the toilets
Jfc get fucked, grease is so hard to clean up

the way things people chose to model, or sometimes not even chose to, affects them later in life makes you think of the little things a lot more

you are what you eat, and all

Yeah

Makes me kind of sad though, because I look at Sean (who's 41), and he's trying to get his shit together

He's doing a pretty good job

Considering how easy it is to slip back into bad habits...

aye, but the good thing is, i suppose if there is to be one, is that it's easier for a heroin addict to recover than it is for an alcoholic.

But the out of control spiral is really bad

yeah

Plus side, I don't think he can become an alcoholic, I don't think alcohol and heroin-weaning medications mix LOL

out of curiosity, did he get started with oxy?

I have no clue

I didn't ask him

2/3 the people i've known to have gotten the habit started that way

broke something, got a scrip, had a little bit of an addictive personality

Oh

super common

We have a heroin and opioid issue here

same

It's been a problem for a long time, small town nothing to do

mob trade

seriously

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup

Russian mob is very, very active here in WA

italians run it here

He does have an addictive personality though; sometimes he gambles after work (but that's also encouraged by the casino, so I don't think he sits down and spends and entire paycheck in one sitting)

He seems to be pretty keen on the slots though, sometimes he wins like $400+

I hope he gets addicted to smashing his face in my titties one day 😦

there's dopamine there

that last part sounds like an interesting addiction👀

He's funny, tonight before he left I went over to him (I try to gather up the guts to tell him I love him now and then but always fail lol), and he opened up a box of burgers
"What you got there, Sean?"
"Uuuuh some jalapenos, on some burgers"
Fucking smiled at me, and accidentally flicked the jalapenos off his goddamn burger, we both laughed said goodnight

Wholesome

He does sound like a real nice dude

I'm sure he'd break someone's fingers for me if he had to lol
