Confessions
This is the place to get it all out! Tell us what's on your mind. What's the worst thing you've done for your addiction? What's the worst thing that's happened to you because of your addiction? How have you been affected because of someone else's addiction? How has your life as an addict affected the ones you love? Reading and writing these confessions help us realize the impact that the addictions have over all of us.

Where there is life, there is hope
My AD has gone to detox.
She was worse than I have ever seen her, barely able to stand on her own. This is a testament to the progressive killing nature of this disease.
Again, helping her to get funding, as she has no insurance, took every advocacy skill I know, and thirty years in advocacy has given me a good bit of knowledge.
She wanted this. She asked me to help.
All these years, ten of them, I am different.
No begging. No forcing. No cajoling.
I, no, we, my husband and I told her: if you want help getting to rehab, let us know. Otherwise leave us alone. And her current beau told her the same thing. As did the friend she sometimes stays with.
The only one who did not tell her this was the evil pimp ex bf who of course, bought her H. And regarding that horrible person? I have realized that he is not worth hating, not with condemning, not worth damning. He is evil. Evil is already damned.
So I am here again, with a little tiny bit of hope. I am not planning a funeral, which I truly believe I would have been, had she not gone on Friday.
I am at rest that I have done all I can. I am powerless over all the facets of her disease. I can only control myself.
