Addiction & Recovery

One of my partners says he's worried I'll trade one addiction (enabling the addict)for another (12 step). I told him that's it's too bad that he's worried but it's not his problem. I have a really big issue to work on and I need to work on it in a way that works for me. If that looks like addiction swapping to him, so be it. It doesn't to me or my higher power and really that's who I'm accountable to. I also mentioned that I wondered if he was worried that he was going to lose some time with me. He said yeah. I said, "I can understand that and I wish I could reassure you, but right now, my recovery takes precedence and yeah, you probably will lose some time with me."

I can sound so sure of myself but then my gremlins start in and I wonder if I'm going overboard? I don't know why I trust you, but I do and it makes me feel more sure of myself to hear these words from you. Thanks.
