Detacher: The opposite of an addict.

• Quitting bad things, and making big changes in my life, are my gifts!
• But also in a negative way
• Damn, I went off my medication again
• Not the one that saves my life
• But the one that I liked
• Why would I detach from that?

Why would I detach from…

• Something I like?
• Someone I like?
• The world?

I can see everything from here…from the outside. Why do I feel so supreme,

• And yet so troubled?
• I wonder if I could ever detach from my flesh and blood. The things I love…just
• Not in my attention anymore?
• Or if in my attention, somehow not…seen? Done? Anymore.

This is the detacher, when they realize that detachment is not just being “great at not being an addict.”
