we recover and then go get more...the life of the addict
it's my thought that unless we are willing to surrender to the fact we need to fix our addiction problem, everything stays the same. for many of us it's a conscious decision we make, hopefully for a lifetime, that we learn to accept our way doesn't work. that running/escaping away, when we get there, we take ourselves with us. i was the problem. only i could make that choice to admit i was defeated.
