About Me

I was cruising along enjoying my life when I met and amazing guy!  He turned out to be an alcoholic that was addicted to perscription medications and felt it wasn't a problem.

I loved my life before him....I still love my life...I just have issues feeling guilty about walking way from him.  I have watched my Aunt, who is my second mother, deal with her husband who is a raging alcoholic and drug addict.  I don't want to be her and have talked with her...but am too close to her situation....

I am a medical professional, however I work with cancer patients which I help on a daily basis.  That's what I'm use to doing, helping, which makes walking away from him even harder.  He choose the alcohol and especially drugs over me.  He's not interested in doing anything but doing his persciption drugs and washing them down with booze. 

I came here hoping to get confirmation that I'm not loosing my mind.  That, even though I know it, addicts are manipulative and self centered.  Sometimes an addict makes you feel like it's you not them. 

I socially drink lucky if it's once a month.  I have never done street drugs, I've just never had a desire.  That is my story!  Please feel free to ask questions or comments on my situation...I can use all the advice/support/suggestions I can get.  So far this has been an amazing experience and I feel extremely lucky to have walked away unharmed other them my heart.
