> Thanks, the break up wasn’t cheap, easy or fun. I highly suspect it was because I really didn’t want to successfully break up because meth lies and tickles and promises and I had learned how to get just high enough to sleep at night after doing a line so I would wake up energized.

To quote myself in a thread I started

> No one sets out to have a problem with alcohol. But too many are seduced by her quiet lies. “I’ll give you a good time.” “Come and forget your past.” “If you feel weak, I’ll make you strong.” These fibs pale if you have ever heard her most treacherous lie: “If you love me, I’ll love you, too.” For if you love her too dearly, she’ll fuck you over.

Sadly, that was a post from 2007, and it took another four years before I could quit her for good.

I’ve been really stressed lately. Suddenly being a single dad, even for just two week while **TokyoWife** was on business trip added to the pressure. Fortunately, I have found some other ways of coping so it’s easier to ignore the calls, but I do have to work on my stress daily.

**Flyboy** , I’m impressed as always with the amount of things you get done.

**Cat Glove** I don’t believe I’ve ever been to a Polish restaurant before. Not that many in Japan.

**Metal Mouse** , I need to start planning my trip to the States as well.

**FCM** good to have a diagnosis and treatment.

**wet one** how long will those fires keep going? That doesn’t sound fun at all.
