A member on these boards shared her story, and her words made complete sense. She said, " I crossed an invisible line."
The former XA in my life also crossed that line, he truly was clueless. While I viewed it as him being in denial, he was so far gone he could not see that there was a problem. It got me thinking, Who would seek help for a problem, they did not believe they had ?
It helped me to understand how powerful addiction can be. I hate this disease, and I hate that I allowed addiction to rule my world for so many years.
All I have to offer is empathy, to those who live with an active alcoholic.
