I do not want to be criticized for saying this, but.....
I think they want to do all those things. I just think that something is so much stronger than they are. I think when an addict is in that world of either coming down or not having anything and they are them again, they do want all those things. Addicts aren't bad people. They just have made bad decisions.
I love when my husband denies telling me something or swears he told me.
