AlleyKat,

Thats a great letter - it's succinct and powerful.

The above sentence sticks out, though. It almost invalidates everything written before, because it implies that there is an element of control in this whole thing, that he is intentionally being an addict and that you will get your pound of flesh if he doesn't do what you desire. If your husband ever gets sobriety, it will be for himself. It is a profound realization to understand that saving yourself is worth the effort. It is from that knowledge that his actions towards others will be loving, as he will understand that they are just as worthy. But right now, he simply does not know or understand. And sadly, it's possible he never will.
