Do you remember how awful your addiction to alcohol was? Do you remember how tough to be without your drug of choice?
That is NUTS!
That is how WW is about her drug of choice. In her case it is a behavioural drug rather than a chemical one. A little understanding but as with your alcohol issue, then complete withdrawal, abstaining is needed. WW has her own 12 steps to do.
My sincerest heartfelt admiration for your achievement in managing your alcohol addiction.

As always V, you have a great way of looking at things!
I believe my understanding of addiction and finally learning to detach is what is helping me with my sitch. It is also helping me with older D and helping her deal with it. Older D and W used to text each other alot during the day. I think that is why D is hurting. She said she is tired of her mom only contacting her if she needs something.
I do believe in miracles. I believe it will take a big one for WW to ever get to the point of starting her 12 steps. Admitting she has a problem would mean hell froze over!!
I have really taken Wonka advice on not feeding the job issue. I do not discuss it with WW. If she talks about her schedule I listen. I believe WW is somewhat confused about my actions lately. I have taken myself OUT of her way. I don't start drama. I do my own thing. I can see the resentment in her lately because of this. She has been almost trying to push my buttons. When I don't react, I think it baffles her.
