My first reaction to your post is "there's no such thing as an "EX" addict. It is my understanding that once you are an addict you are an addict for life, therefore need to work a program for life even if its a meeting once a year.
and as far as apologizing just to keep the peace, Hell no, so keep the silence, stop beating yourself up and apologizing.
someone on here has a quote at the end of their postings that reads
THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.
Now your a good person who wants nothing more than some peace and quite frankly some honesty. Pat yourself on the back and move on with
YOUR RECOVERY FROM CODEPENDENCY
Best of luck to you, keep reading you'll be a pro in no time lol
