How do I know, because as I've said earlier today, I've been there. Addiction is universal, the AV is predictable. Once you disengage and stop entangling with it, by giving it airtime, whatever that takes for you, you'll find peace once more. I have faith in you, that you can break through this blip, as you once had faith in me.
Thanks so much, Tatsy. When my faith in myself is so shaken, it really helps to know that someone has faith in me somewhere. Of course my AV is saying “but her faith shouldn’t count… She doesn’t know you… You might as well drink…”, but I won’t listen to that. I won’t.
