Figured what out exactly?

My intention is not to sound negative when I say this, but rather to put you on alert.

If an addict's lips are moving, they're lying.

Are you in Al Anon or Nar Anon? If you're not, I suggest you get in, allow her to focus on her recovery, and you focus on yours. Please. For your sake.
