Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing.
I felt the same when I thought about addiction this way. Plus, it also helped me to realize that while I would love to cure cancer, I cant. Its a complicated, serious disease. Way beyond my scope. If my loved one was diagnosed with cancer, then all I could do would be to try to ensure proper treatment, encourage them to follow the recovery plan, support as best I could while continuing to care for myself & my son, And Pray. Addiction is no different. Its sad to realize that, but in a way it does bring peace.
I hope things continue to go well for both of you. Good to hear he is back in recovery mode !
