You've tried everything to help your alcoholic/addict...
I thought he drank because of me. And I DID do everything to help myself, finally. Remove me from the equation, and he's still drinking.
So, I'm glad to know I wasn't that omniscient person who pored beer down his throat all the time, like I was lead to believe.

There wasn't anything wrong with ME. I was the sane, strong, smart, logical one. I just needed to convince him how smart I was and get him to go along with my plan.

I can laugh at my insanity now.

In my experience, alcoholics can be a black hole that suck up all the time, attention, and resources. ALL the focus was on him and his failures, excuses, and inconsistencies. I didn't realize I was broken too, and that I deserved some of those resources myself.
Once he was out of the house, it was striking to realize just how little oxygen the rest of us had been living on.
