Absolutely. It's like webs of a venomous spider strung between thorn bushes inside a vehicle rolling down a hill sometimes. But some of us make it out.
Recovery is the great equalizer. Attend a local 12 step program open meeting. There, you''ll find a guy dressed like a stock broker sitting next to a drag queen. There's a soccer mom, a death-metal kid with tats and piercing on anything flesh. There, they need each other and like each other. Death metal kid is the banker's strength, hope, and courage. The Drag queen could even be soccer mom's sponsor. This is why I firmly believe society in general is in dire need of a good 12 Step Program. STEP ONE: we have admitted that we've let the things that divide us overcome those that could unite us. And it has made our lives unmanageable.

Yep. "Holy shit, I'm at the bar."

That's a great way of approaching it.
“He imagined a catalog for shrinks that had shit like Soothing Notepads for Junkies. 14.99 a case”
I laughed out loud because I’m pretty sure that exists
I was confident it wasn't a stretch
Another one. You write fiction, but at the same time the most real stories.
