I agree, those on this board love too much.
I've been analyzing myself deeply as possible and brutally honest as possible. There is something odd to why we allow ourselves to be taken hostage by abusive addicts. It could be a weakness in ourselves, or maybe we are simply too nice, possibly low self esteem, possibly none or all of the above.
Theres been studies to those who hang with addicts, but the studies were not complete and there is still no conclusion. But we have to wonder within ourselves why we stayed and why we allow the abuse. Its some kind of sickness within ourselves (including myself) where we subconsciously allow or maybe even like? being abused. I can reasonably guess weaknesses within myself to why I allow such abuse.
But I'll say this, though I may have some growing, some strengthening to do, I can do it and I'll be fine. I'd rather be in this state then having the disease, not to say those with disease dont heal, but man, something about the disease takes away the very souls of the person from ALL IVE SEEN.
Just my opinion, I know many say addicts can be awesome people, but I still get this gut feeling they'll choose the liquor over me in a heartbeat. TO me, that is not awesome people.
