That was supposed to read, "The further you come along in your recovery, the more obvious the toxic patterns of behavior become."

Cantonian, the more I've read the posts on these forums, the more amazed I am at how often these behaviors surrounding alcohol are undeniable patterns. It gives me great reassurance in the decisions I have made in dealing with the alcoholics in my family. Why should I follow the same miserable path that many, many others have already followed in vain, fighting this kind of dysfunction? This is probably the first time in human history that we can find these lessons, here for us to learn, without going at it so long the hard way.
