[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686857, member: 20267"] So it isn't just me? Thank goodness... My feelings about that man have NOTHING to do with politics. I am not especially interested or concerned with politics, though that probably isn't a good thing. There really just wasn't a whole lot of time to devote to that kind of stuff. But I HATE hypocrites. Especially the incredibly loud, judgmental ones. The man has made millions off of his dishonesty, and his hypocrisy. If it were his choice, addicts would just be thrown away in the garbage. With absolutely NO opportunity for improvement. I have absolutely no patience for him, and his intentionally offensive ignorance. Thank you again, recoveringenabler. Yeah, I am not closed off to the idea of trying to directly help other addicts, I just want to be in a place where I am truly qualified to do so first. An addict with a piss poor sponsor isn't long for recovery. Even if it came from a good place, it wouldn't be fair to try to support them before I can truly support myself.
