It just happens and then you find yourself in the middle of it often acting in a manner that it isn't consistent with who you are.
I've had several friends go through the same thing. It all too easy to say "I'll never do this", "This will never happen to me" or "I wouldn't put up with that." I said the same thing. You never know how you will act or react until you are in that situation yourself.

I'd say that is very different though. There's a reason why I can go have a beer with my friend and stop after one but he needs 6 more.
