There actually is a contest to define a meaning of political correctness and I share with you this years winning definition: "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

While in my hay day I’m not sure I would have ever won awards for being politically correct, I think my actions might have been "delusional, illogical and in a minority", particularly as they related to my addictions.

Delusional in the sense that I thought no one else really knew and if they had my life, they would act like I acted.

Illogical for many reasons. Reasons like why would a depressed person consume depressants to make things better; maybe this time it will be different; I’m only hurting myself and that prize one, I can take care of it myself.

In a minority. Yup, But a large portion of the crowd I "hung" with acted like or similar to me. Little did I know that a majority of people did not act like me.

I really thought a life like mine could be picked up by "the clean end" and was OK.

Ok that is, until my acting in what I thought was a correct way brought me to a point where I did not want to slide any lower and where I made a decision to not be politically correct, deal with reality and take positive action that would honestly allow me to have a life where the object being picked up was clean!

There may be some people who read this that might see some familiarity to their current life to what was mine. Their seemingly politically correct life.
