ST-Maybe addiction want us to believe there is nothing but sadness in the future so we "need" the addiction. Maybe it's one of the many of the addictions survival skills to keep us hooked? Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. It just seems like these addictions are so sleuthing and crafty. They try and trick us into "needing" them, but it's all empty promises. I see happiness without wine, but not without a struggle. I think I have a lot of painful growing ahead of me. Codependency book is on my list.
