We hurt the people closest to us, because the are the ones who are there, not because we want to. It doesn't matter if you're alcoholic, addict, codie, or so called "normal." At sometime in our lives, in some way, we have all hurt those that we love, and are closest to. Our A's don't go out and do what they do in order to hurt us. It's just an unfortunate by-product of addiction, or alcoholism. It's their disease, it does't only affect them, it affects those closest to them.
