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. When posting your confession, you can choose to remain anonymous or let others see your profile name as to bring about discussions.

Words vs. Actions
"If you want to know the mind of a person, listen to their words..if you want to know their heart..watch their actions..~Lisa Prosen
I need to get a lot better learning this distinction. Especially since my son is an expert at setting me up with empty gestures. He may seemingly be doing the right thing, but the whole while he is setting me up for a fall. He does not want to do the hard work of recovery. He intends to be a "functional addict" - or as he told me it's "none of my business" as long as he can hold a job. Except it is my business when he is still harassing me for money (court fines & state fines)..and not insignificant amounts. He has the money for booze and maybe drugs but not his other debts. We did all we could to prevent him from digging this gaping hole..I don't intend to lie in it anymore..
