Three Eyed Fish
Hey Everyone,
Michelle is so right. I met a guy last night that I had been e-mailing and talking to on the phone. What a dud. First, he asked me if I wanted a drink, and when I said I would have iced tea, he discussed how he would like to get me to drink a little wine. I said I don't drink and he said, there is nothing wrong with a little wine. I then told him I can't because of medical reasons, and he said what do doctors know. RED FLAG.
Then, he wanted to get into my pants, and get my hands into his pants. As tempting as the attention was, I didn't want to, and he just would not accept my reasons, or values. He also put down my religious beliefs, and downplayed my spiritual values.
The good news is, I respected myself and my sobriety enough to stand up for my values and beliefs. There was a time, I would not have done that, because I would not have wanted to give up the attention of any man, even a "three eyed fish."
How many times will I not listen to wise advice? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. I am still a little insane.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
