This statement also arouses a lot of feelings in me, most of them not very good. It SOUNDS reasonable and like the right thing to do. But I think it puts an unfair burden on families that have tried and tried and tried to get their loved ones to get clean with no success. Families that already have enough guilt and shame to last 10 lifetimes.
(((Duet))) - I'm very sorry for posting something caused you to be upset.
It gave me hope. I know that people here have done everything under the sun for their addicts. I, on the other hand, have done NOTHING! And I don't know how much longer I can stand the guilt of that.
Thanks to all for sharing your thoughts on this. Peace and Hugs
