Because the addict wants to maintain status quo. They want to use. Changes interrupt their addiction and they don't want anything to come between them and their DOC. They want their codependent to keep dancing the dance of addiction with them because if the codependent leaves the dance floor.......they are dancing alone and their addiction becomes obvious.



We all get bamboozled by the addict. They are really good at it. Ad they are really good at making us think that we're the one with a problem......and in a way......we do have a problem. We're easily bamboozled because we WANT to believe them more than anything.
