What I did not include in yesterdays thread actually out of sheer embarrassment was the fact that the jerk that I was seeing for a month and then he just suddenly stopped talking to me is a recovering alcoholic, lost his license for I dont know how long, is on unemployment, and is losing his house! I realize that in my profile it states that I am a social worker and am not looking for another CLIENT, I felt that since he was trying to correct the situation (he goes to AA meetings at least 3 times a week though I know they are mandated) he deserved some consideration in that he is human and at least is trying to make good on past mistakes. The more I read this however the more I see that he just did me a favor. Wow, I think the guy gave you a red flag. Once I stumbled upon an AA meeting during Christmas time on year looking for a alonon meeting, and I tell you I never wanted to go out and have a drink so badly. Tell him your a social worker and that you don't need a client. No job, no income, losing his house - a boozer, boozer loser! Yeah he's too much of a (social) - worker, maybe he did something to a client and that's why he's jobless? Tell me about it...beauty n brains isnt so smart in the LOVE department! That why she sometimes has to come check herself in here!
