The Melting Pot of the Hopelessly Average

Addicted to Recovery: The Interactive Memoir

At 20 years old I'm already washed up, so might as well just give up on doing anything meaningful and go into a school program I have no intention of taking seriously. While I'm at it, might as well give up on love as well and lose my virginity to a stranger. Winning at life!
This episode also talks about addiction as a fundamental refusal to accept reality. Being rather pissed off that the world was not bending to my every whim, and not seeing that my participation, or lack thereof, might have something to do with it, kept me in a powerless loop of resentment.
