[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 688582, member: 20267"] I have been in that mindset, and I don't think it is a matter of planning to give up. Most people don't need to actively find a reason to continue living, and improving. That is just kind of innate in all of us. Eventually, an addict is going to look back at all the ruin and devastation, and be overwhelmed by the enormity of it. Which gives us even more excuses to continue using. So, we don't actively plan to fail, or give up. We just accept it as inevitable. We have a hard time understanding why ANYBODY would want anything to do with us ever again. I still don't get really get why my aunt is still around. She has every reason not to be, and no reason to be. That is how we see it. We assume that everybody must see us the same way we see us. And we do NOT have very high opinions of ourselves, clearly. [/QUOTE]
