One of the many lies alcoholism tells me is that I must stay in an abusive relationship because this person is ‘the one’ if only they stopped drinking and/or behaving in ways I didn’t like.
Cannot count how many times how I considered him "PERFECT" and "THE ONE" without the alcohol and the abuse. Glad to read it's a LIE!
If they were not alkies we would think they are just your average Joe and Jane... but no, we need to believe THEY are The Answer to stay and enable...
Today I am glad for everyone that has been able to get out from the effects of this horrible disease and feeling grateful I am not an alcoholic. I am messed up as it is to carry this monkey over my shoulders on top of it.
