I don't understand this and am searching for some insight.

I have always regarded my qualifier as capable of no wrong. I have been so adamant about adjusting my reality to fit this notion that when they first told me they were an alcoholic and going into recovery, I was honestly truly blind sighted and never saw it again. Later, when the same person told me they were now going into recovery for substance abuse, I felt blind sighted again. I was never able to see the effects of alcoholism or substance abuse until after the fact.

I am curious. What made me so willing to be blind? Has anyone else ever gone through something similar to this? Why do we do this?
