I agree that he speaks his truth as do you. I speak my truth, which is as powerful based on my experiences as yours is for you. Not every parent of an addict can get to this point; and if they do, they have to travel their own path to get there, just like their addict does.
I don't know how I feel when I read his blog, to be honest. I recognize the truth, but I guess I am not as enlightened as some.
I think he has a lot to share, and makes some really good points. I am not sure how to say what I'm thinking, but I wish he could do his sharing more kindly? Ugh...I can't find the words! Anyway, thanks for sharing the link to his blog!

ReplyDeleteOur personal truths are the things we've learned along our addiction journey.
But none of our personal truths negate the ultimate truth about addition:
I didn't cause it, I cannot cure it, and I cannot control it.
I meant IMHO --- duh!
