As an alcoholic and addict in recovery, I'm a little taken aback that this is a silly or "fun" thread to post, and almost offended.. but alas, take what I want and leave the rest. I know we've all suffered a lot of crazy stuff here. As a person who's had many relationships with addicts and alcoholics, most of the "tantrums" (for lack of a much better term) were devastating, disturbing, and downright frightening. As were my own.
