AMEN AMEN AMEN! It's hard to let go or FORGET, but if I hold onto ANY part of my past relationship to my ALCOHOLIC love, then I will NEVER EVER recover or heal!
Letting go is the HARDEST thing to do, but there comes a time that we MUST be selfish and think of ourselves and go forward without that person we loved so dearly. Even though I hurt and am trying to kick my addictions, it was only when I met HIM that I was introduced to them and liked it. I do not blame him ..... because it is *I* that allowed it. It's just the fact.
I also must let go of the feelings of wanting to HELP him ..... for he does not want help. I just wish him well and pray he finds the means to admit he has a problem and get himself HELP ...... I cannot because it will be my demise!
