Hey sailor john,
Thankyou for posting that for Josette.... (when will the pain stop)
Josette,
I wonder if you copied my posts..... describing the addict in your life. I too, listed all those qualities....
ask ANYONE HERE.... they have heard me describe my (funny, witty, handsome, business owner, great credit, has money, good dad, loving, buys me gifts, bla bla bla... kind of man i'm involved with.)
I think it was anvil who told me that I have a 'functioning addict' in my life.
SO - part of it DOES work.... because he hasn't stopped funcitoning YET>>>>>>>>>>
That is the key. Waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Living your life, with someone who can't give anykind of stability, because you will always come second.
If we came FIRST and wern't AT ALL affected by the addiction in our lives, then we wouldn't be HERE!!!!
It's a matter of how much u can take, and for how long you are willing to compromise YOUR life, and when it gets bad enough - you will make changes.
Unfortunatly I think mine won't hit bottome, untill he has a heartattack- or some other health complication- becuase of his ability to always have money- and the resources to do what he needs to do.
I hope I don't wake up t a dead man one of these days....
It's a real possibility, the body can only take so much abuse.
Think about your quality of life.
