4. No, I just don't tell the whole story each time

After the 50th time, it gets hard. So I say what's going on right now, and right now learning what's mine to own and what's his to own and yours to own, that's my current learning curve.

The nasty things I mentioned are all the standard thing families of addicts do, we beg, we plead, we cry, we manipulate, we rage, we enable and cloth and feed and lose our minds. I lost mine in less than three months. But actually, I was slowly going insane, it just took the addict to slam me to my knees. And since I was on my knees, I prayed to my higher power and I haven't stopped since.

You think I write a lot of posts? You can't imagine how much Evelyn (my higher power) has to listen to.
