“Since I didn’t like the law or the consequences for breaking it, I lived in denial of it. But pretending as if it weren’t there did not make it disappear. So, I retaliated against those who represented it. If I couldn't divert the consequences, I diverted the blame. I blamed the police for my consequences. I blamed them for “ruining my life.” I blamed them for my arrests. I refused to accept that it was my fault for breaking the law in the first place. Blaming others allowed me to keep believing whatever I wanted and acting however I wanted.” LawBlamePretendingConsequencesArrestsRetaliated Book:Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose Source: Pursued: God’s relentless pursuit and a drug addict’s journey to finding purpose
