The_Karen_Cooper_Incident Posted July 11, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2019 I always feel a sense of dread when I visit my friends in Cleveland, and drive past Lakewood Ohio on I-90. This route, which I purposely avoid now, goes right past my old house in Lakewood Ohio. I have alot of really bad memories from there. I have memories of futile attempts to control my drinking. I lived in this house for only two years, from 2005 to 2007. It's when the physical addiction began for both Vodka and Opiates. However, it was my introduction to AA but the 'God' thing really freaked me out at the time. Anyway, just driving past Lakewood immediately sends me into a panic and I have to control my breathing. It's pretty fucked up. I wish I would have had a dream of being back in Pittsburgh. Even though my addiction soared to new levels in Pittsburgh, I don't seem to have those really bad feelings. I love Pittsburgh, it's just a better city minus the NFL football team. Their hockey team is the best though. I have no idea why I'm telling you all this. I just woke up and I haven't had my Portland coffee yet. Shu Fang 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted July 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted July 12, 2019 Scary stuff but I think it is an omen that you need a house to build happy memories in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted July 12, 2019 Share #4 Posted July 12, 2019 I like Lakewood, but don’t have those same associations. I think of ok coffee shops and good vegan food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
