You are human - that's why you "get off track" - but only for an instant - and you picked up the tools of the program. A momentary lapse into "Momism". We all have it.
My AS could play me like a violin - knew exactly what to say to touch my heart - so that ultimately he could get what he wanted. It was so all about him - and his disease - and his need for drugs.
Remember "when the scorecard read zero" that's when they finally give up. From the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
I agree with everyone - 24 months might be just what his HP has in mind for him.
Love in recovery,
