I had a pretty nasty addiction to crack cocaine. I've been clean for seven years. But even still I know that I am only one really bad decision away from a relapse.
re: recovery - Sometimes I ask myself the same question about codependents... do they every really recover from the hurt or issues that cause them to choose to date drug addicts... Are they ever able to stop feeding their addiction to "fixing" people and their desperate need to be loved by people who are incapable of loving themselves. Do they every reach that moment of enlightenment where are able to focusing on their own issues instead of focus on someone elses.
