There has been a few post lately about some of the partners and adult children giving the excuses that if _______ hadn't happened then they wouldn't have had to use, or if we had been a little nicer, blah, blah, quack, quack, . . .
Well if I remember correctly at one time we had a thread going that talked about the different excuses we have heard on why our addicts/alcoholics used . . .
Most of the time as we read these post it can give us a clearer insite to the fact that we are not alone, many of us have heard some of the same reasons, excuses and stories . . .
Some of these may make you laugh, some may make you cry - but the main purpose is hopefully to help you realize - IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU!!
Their use is about them and their disease - so please add your experience, strength and hope to help others . . .
PINK HUGS to all,
Rita
