[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 534099, member: 3305"] Nancy, It is so very sad and confusing, isn't it! In fact, The more we try and love away this disease, take responsibility for them: emotionally, physcially, financially, etc...The SICKER we make them and ourselves. I know...It's hard to look at the addict as a sick man or woman. They seem able-bodied and capable. Yet the only thing that will move them forward in life and slow down the progression of this disease is taking a hard honest look at themselves, taking their own "inventory", taking responsibility for these things...making ammends, living a life of sobriety one day at a time. We can't do this for them...we get in their way and damage them (and us) further when we try. It doesn't seem to make loving sense at all does it? Hugs, LMS [/QUOTE]
