His Only Wife
“Don’t even get me started on how fucked up it was that my Narcotics Anonymous meeting took place in the basement of an LDS church. A place that I would never step into, if not for complete desperation in my addiction. God apparently has quite the sense of humor. If he were a human, I’d probably want to have a beer with the guy.
“My name’s Porter, and I’m an addict.” The words left my mouth quickly and without hesitation. I’d been attending meetings for more than two years.
The small cro...wd watching me with upturned faces replied in unison as they always did. “Hi, Porter.”
“When I first started coming here, I hated all you happy people, all of you who kicked your habit a long time ago, who came out on top of your addictions and compulsions. I never wanted to admit that I needed you. I never wanted to admit that I needed others to get clean. I thought I needed my girlfriend, my job, my house. But I didn’t think I needed you.”MoreLess
