It had nothing to do with co-signing. It had to do with character evaluation. And while “trusting no one” sounds nice on paper, it makes for a pretty shitty world. So, human beings take risks on their hearts. And learn.

Karma can be a real bitch. If you were a user, it’s pretty likely you stomped on some hearts - hard. I’d say, while shooting rubber bands at the slowly rotating ceiling fan, smoking a cigar and sipping scotch, that that’s probably your reflection point here. Who’d you hurt - and how badly?

You got scared - but you were given the inspiration of how to save your skinny butt, just in the nick of time. That’s Grace.

You can’t give up on people, because if you do, you’re giving up on yourself.

On the other hand, holding most of them in an electrified pen under 24 hour armed guard on a barge in the middle of the Atlantic isn’t such a bad idea, either.

Congratulations on going straight - and welcome back to the challenge of being human.

I had to get up and go look at hubby to make sure he wasn’t posting this.

Look, I understand I cannot give up on people. And I won't.

I just won't cosign for them under any circumstances. If Jesus Christ himself returns and asks me to rent a car, I'm telling him to get his gaw-damned license and rent it himself.

Oh, and: If you were a user, it’s pretty likely you stomped on some hearts - hard.

Yes I was and yes I did. One was a FR lady who married me.

That is what 8th, 9th, and 10th steps are about, however.

You can only be truly betrayed by one you care about.
