his addictions had turned him into someone who really didn't care about anything except the next drinking binge. he paid a high price for his drinking career....loss of family, wife, home, career, self-respect and self-love.

it was so very difficult for me to turn loose of him and save myself. and as i became more educated about the addiction, it became more and more pathetic to see his ploys and scheming and scamming. it just broke my heart for him, too.

just hang in there, and keep the focus on yourself. the addiction is tricky and the trickster hooks are slinging all around.

Embrace are you with my XA? All I have to say is DITTO to this post! Time frame, feelings everything!
