Desirae…

The thing that trips up more addicts and alcoholics is the idea that they have any real choice over if they use/drink or not.

The testament of the ages is they do not. We all can chose not to drink or use today, but we can’t seem to make it stick long-term.

You are one of the fortunate few, you walked away. And you made it stick. Good for you, but you are among the minority. Most of us go on blotting out the pathetic nature of our existence as best as we can to the end.

Your mother in the grip of a disease more powerful than her will power. You may not believe it, but look at the pattern. She goes back time and time again. She has no real ability to say no and make it stick.

This notion of our powerlessness is the key.

But get a real alcoholic or addict to believe it, good luck.
