Hi all... I watched my Pop die from the drink and all of his friends slide away... my Hubby because of his morphine addiction.. has anger issues. and then I have teary issues.. me I stopped because it was killing my ability to care for my children and my life was becoming unsafe.. and my kids mean more to me then life itself.. I think you have something there on teh personalities and thinking styles.. for stopping the problems.. but toss it in the air and this group will give a great set of answers and thoughts. and maybe just maybe that is why we are all here together.. instead of sitting alone with our thoughts. prayers to all and love ardy...
