Exactly. To look at her there is no mistaking it. I feel certain "Charlie" is all Beast himself. What other explanation is there besides just being a sh*tty human being? Which is also a possibility.
Personally, I would find out, but that's just me.
I'm looking into it. I can't imagine his company would be ok with this??
Thanks all for the kind words, you guys. I know that many of us previously-addicted peeps also experience the other side as well; that of loving someone who is currently addicted. Hard to put into words all the conflicting emotions. I wish I was just sad, but I'm not just sad. I'm also angry.
The sad thing to me is that she completely identifies as an "alcoholic" and uses that to continue what she's doing. She frequently says, "yeah, well I'm an alcoholic so I just can't stop."
