So I was rethinking my initial judgement on Adrian... He wasn't my guy that is for sure, we were not on the same level at all. I knew it, he knew it and the entire establishment knew it. That doesn't mean he deserved the judgement I made of him. I had all these Unconscious Bias going on from the cigarette choice, the energy boost, the clothes and just everything. We all have Unconscious bias and I never really paid attention to mine. You see this guy sent me to a place of an unconscious bias about addicts; drug addicts and alcoholics. A type of person I know very well. In my experience addicts are successful. They are successful in getting what they want. They are successful at being selfish. They are successful at filling their addiction, no matter the cost. Sometimes they are successful at convincing others they are not addicts, because of the simple fact that they are "successful" or functioning at everyday tasks. Some see this as a way to justify the addiction, again no matter the cost. I don't know if Adrian is an addict, what I do know is Adrian triggered something in me. At first I found the experience funny and now I see it as the lesson I needed, so I may have not followed my signs but the path I chose the other night lead me to something I never would have come to realize if I had paid attention to my signs. 🚧🚦🧾
