It's heartbreaking yet a strong testament to a loving and supportive heart to see all what a person can be if only they could see it themselves. I'm an alcoholic in early recovery and I'm well aware of the potential I wasted in the last 20 years. I see so much in my still drinking/drugging ex but hey, that's his gig not mine. He has the right to live or throw away his life...just as I did. It took a lot of pain and slamming doors for me to see the light but I am grateful I have. I pray for the man I loved that Spirit will find a way into his soul. His world is no longer a space I can share.
