((( Lorelai! )))
I have seen several famous people on TV who are in recovery for drug and alcohol addiction. Almost without fail, they attribute their recovery to their loving wife who stuck by them. They couldn't have done it without her endless love and compassion. They would have surely failed in their recovery attempt if their wife hadn't been by their side encouraging them every step of the way.
They'd bloody well better say it. They're living with unrecovered codies who might klong them with a skillet.
The wife of the 37 year old couldn't save him with her love and she was there until the bitter end. Some get it and some don't. If you feel you have better things to do than wait around and see if they're a getter or a nevergetter, more power to you.
HUGS!
