i guess i'm not a real mother

Went to an NA meeting last night with Jean. About 30 minutes in, some stupid woman "shared" a 15 minute rant about "selfish bitches" who do drugs when they have young children and then "dare to call themselves mothers". Way to alienate. Jean and I left, we don't need that sort of nonsense, I doubt it was aimed at us as we hadn't said we each had a kid. But still, you've got a lot of women there who are trying to get help- why say things like that? Stupid.

  1. try a different meeting. One person's share at a meeting doesn't represent all of the hope and help and goodness that NA really has to offer. And yes, you are a real mother that loves her child, just a mother with a disease that is hurting you. Don't let one "rant" at a meeting become an excuse for not letting NA help you, or for not continuing to try to get help and into recovery. That is an example of addictive thinking ,...exactly. Your disease's strength is denial and rationalization of itself. The more you recognize that and how it affects your thinking...the better.

  2. Actually you are a sucky mother. Your're selfish and deluding yourself if you think you are a great mother because you play board games with your kid even when you're sick. You seem to think oxy is the only problem and say smoking pot every day is not a problem because you don't do it in front of the kid. You're a moron if you don't think being high on anything in front of the child you claim to love is ok. And where's the father? And why do you still live with mommy and daddy? And why don't you have a job? Sounds like the kid has little chance with a "mother" like you.
    PS You should quit all the talk about recovery when you're all over the web talking about trying heroin. yeah...you suck!

  3. I second the last comment! What irresponsible behavior! Do you drive around high with your kid in the car too? Your thinking is controlled by drugs, you are a danger to yourself and your kid.

  4. I don't drive actually, we don't have a car because the public transportation in my city is great and I care a lot about the environment. What irresponsible behavior, smoking pot after the kid goes to bed at night? How is that different from having a drink at the bar after the kid goes to bed? And yeah I'd like to try heroin, what oxy addict wouldn't? Doesn't mean I'm going to. I know I'm a good mom. I don't need strangers who have been reading selective portions of my life for less than a month to tell me otherwise.
