I have the obsessiveness of someone who's a sober, recovering addict displacing his addiction. Except I never had the addiction.

I may have taken someone through the wringer psychologically, but I've never been sinister.

No one wants to be entrapped by his or her addictive habit...

...most Substance-addicted people are also addicted to thinking, meaning they have a compulsive and unhealthy relationship with their own thinking.

We are a society of excuses, shame and blame; we avoid accountability and often project our responsibility when involving domestic violence.

It is not a coincidence that you and your partner are together. You each have something to learn from one another …. The most important thing you can do to support your partner in his [or her] recovery is to show that you are truly supportive and on his [or her] side.
