Sexist and OCD Based Recovery

“Not everyone has to hit rock bottom and reinvent themselves.
Most of us don’t have great ambitions, podcasts, TV deals and Holywood lifestyle waiting for us if we can just wake up from cocaine and alcohol induced coma.
Most of us live crappy boring lives, working 9-5 at Walmart and hate ourselves by the time we hit 40s.
Then you get your tooth implant and you get some Vicodin and you’re like: “Wow, this feels awesome, I wasn’t this happy in years”
Then you feel good when you take it, and feel crappy when you don’t.
When you get off it completely, you go back to your crappy Walmart 9-5 life that you hated with passion.
There’s no Holywood deals and amazing new horizons that await most of us when we stop,
Just sad old life we were trying to escape in first place.
I’m like a big majority of people who was never fully addicted, never lost control of my life , but occasionally get high and want to stop...make better choices.
Live healthier lifestyle.
Host is addictive and obsessive compulsive personality.
He replaced one addiction with different ones to fill his time.
If you’re a type of person who can replace smoking joint after work with running 10 miles or writing a book, whatever it is...this is a place for you.
He totally lost me at episode 2 with:
“I’m awesome, I’m always on time.
I open my Google Maps and stare at it for an hour before I leave, in case traffic changes”
TOTALLY PSYCHO AND SEXIST!
I also live and work in LA.
I don’t know a single person who does that.
Never heard of one.
I’ll do it if I’m having meetings of life importance, but if I’m going to my buddy’s to watch game...I’ll show up at some point, or not at all, who cares?
I’m definitely not staring at my maps for an hour to make it to pregame show...that’s just psycho.
Some people are on time some people are late...mostly WOMEN!
I dated a few dozen women in my life and almost all of them were always late.
Hotter the girl, longer you will wait.
(Just like Hot/Crazy graph Barney explained Ted in “How I Met Your Mother”...true story)
Not sure what host’s sexuality is, nor I care, but if he ever waited for attractive women to get ready for party he would never say nonsense like:
“There’s no excuse to be late” WHAT?!?
I’ll give you 20 anytime.
How about:
I’m standing by the front door with car keys in one hand and Google Maps in other and I’m yelling: “COME ON ALREADY!”
But she just can’t get that last curl right.
When she finally does and we’re walking towards the car she remembers she was wearing those same boots last year, so we have to go back, and now she has nothing to wear, and starts crying...messes up make-up.
Now we’re back to square one and 2 hours late.
What do you suggest?
Leave her and kids so I can make it on time to my friends stupid parties?!?
I’m out.”
