Wow
I stumbled upon "Jon" and "What Addicts Do" several weeks ago. I could not believe what I was reading - how much it hurt to hear that from another person - I'm very new to the world of drugs and have been involved with an addict for 2 1/2 years - a rebound relationship after a 20 year marriage. Over and over I read what Jon had to say. I cry like a baby. I shake my head - and struggle still yet to understand. But I keep coming back here - I keep looking for the answers that only I know. I keep believing she loves me - because she tells me that again and again - she needs me less and less - it's usually when she's gone off on a binge and is so very sick. Of course, I go to her. I worship the ground she walks on - obviously that's another problem - another topic. As a result of my being with her, I have a slight abuse problem as well. One that I feel I can control.
