This has been great reading!!
I have always been in relationships with addicts of one sort or another.
I used to be an addict as well.
It's taken 17 years of this nonsense for me to realize that it's me and I have a lot of frigging things to sort out. I mean, yeah, they were/are addicts. But I made the decisions to date them, live with them, marry them, reproduce with them, you know? And so, now, I'm realizing that I have some issues that need addressing, Mwahahaha. And at first, when I realized that I'm a codie, I felt physically ill, devastated that I had, in many ways, brought this upon myself? So, I expect to keep my therapist and I busy for a while and perhaps I will attend Al-Anon. Therapist recommended "Codependent No More". So...vacation beach reading...
