Is there someone or something in your life that is like poison? Something or someone that you know is bad, really bad for you, yet you still take it in small, medium, or large doses?
What is it with all of us? We all have weaknesses for food, drugs, alcohol, sex, tobacco, and a ton of other things. The funniest part to me is when we are doing this "bad" thing or taking this "poison" we are well aware of what it is doing to us either physically or emotionally, yet we continue on and live for that very moment...only to regret our action or decision moments after doing it.
Have you ever dated someone that you KNEW was so wrong for you yet you continued on because either the sex was good, you were lonely, or for some other foolish reason? You'd be hooked on seeing them, yet when you were with them it completely sucked, yet you kept going back, why?
There are warning labels on cigarettes, alcohol, and prescription drugs. There are "nutrition labels" on foods that clearly state how bad they are for us, yet we continue to consume them, why? Do we all have the mentality that "it won't happen to me" or that "I won't get sick or hooked on this stuff"?
We all have a "poison" whether it be a person, a substance, an action....what's yours?

I talk to my ex from time to time even though I shouldn't. It's an addiction.
There are actually several books about "toxic relationships", and boy oh boy...do we all have them. Sometimes they can't be easily avoided (parents, for example). But otherwise, I've really tried to exorcise the toxic people from my life.
Hey... don't you come visit me anymore? :(
i just got lectured about a boy i'm interested in, last night, by one of my best friends. i didn't want to hear what she said, but it all sunk in to my core and has left me knowing that this "relationship" isn't headed anywhere good. and yet . . .
Yeah, I had a toxic relationship, or as the local radio station would refer to him as, my "antichrist" (insert scary Latin music from the original version of The Omen here). Of course, I also got rid of him... which made for a very good post here.
Well, I just recently got rid of the worst poison... The cigarettes...
Don't have a toxic relationship--that I know of...
Hmmm, I guess that I'm poison-free...
How boring is that?
I had poison oak once.
if only we could get rid of our relatives as easily as we could... let's say... fungus. lol.
good post, charlie.
YES!!! C-Mac is back! Whoo-hoo!
my poison is you, why oh why do i keeping coming here.
LOL...Toxic huh? Hmmmm, yes..but I'm getting better.
I just have this suckinability. You know?
My ex is poison...to the core...I swear. Just when I have put him in the past he jumps right in my way again. And nothing...absolutely nothing is good about this guy. Seriously...I think the only reason he has friends is cause he appears to be this bundle of fun...when in fact he is NUTS!!
Here is to holding him off...once again!
My ex was super toxic...but he is gone now...so I think
"This house is cleared"
