The Jekyll and Hyde aspect of addiction, the people we married or fell in love with, or the children we raised - as opposed to who they become when under the influence of these poisons....
Yeah, while active in addiction most if not ALL of the things on the list are there. We have lived with them, lived in fear of them. Cried buckets over them.
That Hyde, that horrible demon that took over the person we knew, luckily is treatable. But to deny that alcohol or drugs create characteristics like those listed...well, I'll just say that I've witnessed it firsthand.
