I came.... as a mass of confusion....returned..... to find compassion and understanding...stayed.....because I need the newbies to stay in my recovery..and hopefully through all that I have seen and been through can offer support to those still in pain and despair.....I respect the rights of everyone that posts here and am grateful that I have a place to call "Recovery"...just my reasons for being here....

I came to get some answers and offer my story, listen to friends and TRY to keep my mouth, (fingers) shut if I know NOT what I speak of. I'd like to think that some times I offer acceptable advice, and comic relief from time to time... This subject is so serious, some times you need to take a step back

defrag my mind... lol .. there are times I'm glad no one can usb port into my mind and browse my files... some seem to have a virus.
Dan .. you stated the syndrome I see brilliantly ... there are so many families that cannot seem to heal together.. And I think in large it's because there is a delay in the denial mechanism that cannot be accelerated until the most symptomatic component (the addict) is removed from the mechanism.
Does that make sense? sort of like having to remove the carbureotor and either devise an alternate fuel delivery mechanism or replace the carbureater completely before you can discover the fuel pump was faulty as well.
Oh jeepers .. this sounds so male oriented.. I need a cookie recipe analogy.

yep, gooch, it was making sense for me right up to the carbueotor. carburtoator..carbyouuateher. whatever.
but thanks. your bit in this thread was a lightbulb moment for me! as a codie i really needed to remove the faulty component (the alcoholic) to see if the rest of my engine was working properly. cause the alcoholic most definitely did not want me to see how it really was (a slow, dreadful leak)- and although it is a slow road to self actualization, it is definitely worth it for me. I pray that he finds his way, but I must continue on my own path with my sanity and serenity intact. this may be the reason i come to this site, to find the wisdom and to share my experiences as well.
