I find myself making excuses quite often as well. I guess that is why we are the codependents that we are. It doesnt make the concern any less knowing this though. Every few weeks, when things seem to be looking up for my husbands addiction there is a downfall.im still trying to differentiate it all as well. Sleep well tonight, I've been told that it is one day at a time for us too. You made it through another day and so did he.
