Absolutely true. None of us is responsible for what has happened to us as children. But we are absolutely responsible for the choices we make as adults. My children were a huge part of my decision to change. I put them in a dire situation. My behavior was reprehensible. I decided that I would no longer use anything as an excuse to continue to be actively addicted. Not my past, not my feelings, not my fear, not my pain. I literally took my life back. Very empowering indeed. Glad you're here Missy...always forward...strive on with diligence. xo
