Hey girl!
No need to apologize! I'm not upset, especially not at you! I apologize if you thought I was directing my comments to you earlier.
I find the HBO thing interesting and at least it is getting some dialogue started about addiction. I just get a little bent out of shape by people who make blanket statements like some of the ones that HBO made.
No two addicts are alike, just like no two 'normal' (whatever that is) people are alike. I just think that it is a gross oversimplification to say that families should do this or do that, because we have all done so much and nothing worked; and I just don't think anything will work unless and until the addict makes the decision for themselves.
(((HUGS to you mertzie))))
