Do you really believe that?
That's what a good friend just told me after finally leaving her AH after 20 years. She said "move on, the chances of him getting clean and staying clean are against the odds. Don't waste your years like me."
I really didn't want to believe her. I so wanted him to be the exception! Yet, she can almost recite word for word what he says to me. She has heard it all. Three lengthy stays in rehab, 2 yrs clean, Born again Christian, he is currently an active crack user again with no hope in sight. She has finally moved on and is very happy!
