Can someone please dissect/explain this email from my addict
Jodie, what he says or what he writes doesn't matter. It's his actions that matter. And you have to look at and pay attention to his track record. Remember in your first post you mentioned how you saw red flags because of his drinking and you brushed it aside? The fact of the matter is you can't afford to do that anymore. He will do or say anything to get his way, and that's simply the nature of the disease of addiction.

If you love him, and if you love yourself, you will detach from him with love and allow him the opportunity to get his act together and allow yourself to heal. What that ultimately means is accepting that he's sick, and until he chooses recovery and becomes accountable to himself for his actions and choices, nothing will change.

Please put the focus on you and your well being.
