you know, i just don't think someone in active addiction cares about whether or not anyone keeps records of their broken promises.i think sometimes subconsciously they make promises knowing they are likely to find a way to break them. so they buy.
i think maybe their avoidance could be because its kind of hard to argue and make excuses with paper or emails. the back and forth conv. is made simple and the addict in my life don't seem to do so well with "simple."
