And because I'm a firm believer everything happens for a reason it helps me get through.
Indeed you sound like a wise lady. Take your lesson, tuck it somewhere to refresh your memory in days ahead, and let yourself be free of the chains of addiction. You didn't cause it, can't cure it and can't control it...but you can make a healthy choice to move forward with your life.
I know this is hard for you, but the pain of leaving pales by comparison to the pain of staying with an active addict.
Glad you joined us, welcome.
