Emotions 101;

Jealousy.. can be counterproductive and even disabling. Its like resentment in a way, that is like holding on to hot coals in your hand... it will only burn you.

One thing I have learned is you can cancel reason. logic, the application of otherwise normal thoughts and reactions when dealing with an addict until they are significantly recovered.
Remember one of the prime directives... you cannot control it. Therefore why frustrate yourself with counterproductive emotions.

If my AW were to break through denial and enter rehab, I'd be so happy that a chance at becoming reacquainted with the lovely person I used to know could help me stay detached awaiting the final result.

Why get angry about something you KNOW you cannot control?
