Tonight, I watched him shoot himself in the foot. He did not choose what he wants. He is an ADDICT. He chose what is easy, safe, familiar. He is an ADDICT.
Just for today, since I know that it will probably get to me again..but, just for today I am asking,
"Why doesn't HE mean enough to HIMSELF to get healthy?"
just the view from my little world today.
The last time mine drank, the final straw, wasn't because we fought. The first two times (two times binges started) was because we got into a fight. We'd fight, he'd go home and drink. He told me it was because we fought that he drank. The last time was Valentines Day. We had a great day, all lovey dovey. He went home and drank. That time he told me it was because his brain told him to drink, so he did.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Your therapist is a genius. I hope things get better for you soon...and for me. :ghug3
