There comes a "fork" in the life of every adult children of alcoholics....
To choose to break the cycle or to choose to allow the past to affect the current and future.
That is a great statement. My H is an ACOA (his dad is an A) and he has moved out of our home to deal with his issues he just discovered have ruled his life forever and ruined our marriage. I would like to share this with him. He is having a very very hard time getting out of the past. I have shared with him these 13 characteristics and circled each one in red and wrote his name by them.
You know what they say in AA?
If you have one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow, you're pissing on today.
Again, I love this statement. My H has ALL 13 of those characteristics which has basically caused the (beginning of and) demise of our marriage. I pray there is hope he will heal and come home but more importantly get better and shake this "category" off his back.
I pray for everyone attempting the same.....shaking loose from the hold of these 13 demons!
