      thank you for you message sounds exactly like mine and he is still laying it on thick, I know day by day I will get stronger, my family needs me right now and I need myself, I can not wait for that day when I wake up and realize there is no drama no heart ache and NO CHAOS, I am pretty sure I might chase my tail around in a circle for awhile until I realize that I may lay down worry free and comfortable as hell, once again thank you, take care

      Well I have been living with an addict on and off for 14 yrs. Always hoping this time he will stay clean. Well it never works out, the lies start, the excuses etc. It always starts out with the drinking usually with me keeping on top of him we work together to keep him clean,very hard to live like that. But its the I love him factor! This time he has gone on for 9 months, I cannot handle it anymore so I threw him out as usual. Trying to break this vicious cycle. Any help out there?
