SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS

I really don't want your addiction to Edward to end; that would shake my reality as an enabler to the core, and then where would I be?

A lost co-dependent with no one to enable, that's where. I might start handing out quarters to the bums at 36th and State, or running to the liquor store myself to buy them some Wild Turkey. That's not safe for me, nor will it help the poor drunks sober up. So, for my sake, as well as the sobriety of the transient population at 36th and State, please continue your addiction. It's best for us all.

Anyway, I wonder if you have seen New Moon more than once since its release last Friday? Repeating an addictive behavior over and over until it adversely affects your day-to-day life is paramount to continuing and increasing the power of your addiction.

So, I suggest you please go see it again (and again). I'll tell you that it's not good for you, of course, but I'll call your boss to cover for you if you go see the late showing and then fail to make it to work on time the next morning. I'll make excuses to those nearest and dearest to you, to cover your lack of attention to their needs. I'll even water your plants and take out the trash for you.

An addict needs an addiction. A co-dependent needs to enable the addict. Let's stick together.
