[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 658733, member: 17720"] It is kind of like a checklist, isn't it? He apologized. That's good...and long overdue. And he knows that. He remembers. That's good. You do too. But you're the ones left to wonder what the $&!! happened to all that joy and laughter. He needs forgiveness. Well...I might be off base, but I would guess that he had your forgiveness long before he texted. Without forgiveness I think we would all be eaten alive inside. That doesn't mean we rush right back into that burning building. Is that what he means by forgiveness? Was clean for 8 months, now addicted again. Unfortunate. And if it has happened before and he was clean for 8 months he knows what to do. Girlfriend left him. Aha. That's why YOU'RE getting the texts... At 3 A.M... I agree with RE. That's the tell. He isn't thinking of you. He just knows the script by heart. I think your response about the 12-step group and the faith he can do it is perfect. It leaves you out of it without being cruel. He MIGHT get it this time. We never know. And like Cedar said, they don't have the power to make us less than we know we are. So I'd tell him exactly what you said, even though he knows already.
