I don’t know who needs to hear this but

You can’t love the addiction out of somebody

Been there...tried that....you are correct.

If one wishes to love someone with an addiction, be prepared to love them with an addiction that does not go away.
If that is unacceptable, then don't let them into your life or if that is impossible, set solid boundaries. (do the latter anyway)

One has to tell themselves that "you didn' t create the addiction in someone and therefore you can NOT remove it"...sucks but true.

I know… I tried. I said to my gf I’d quit sugar if she would quit alcohol.

I lost 40Lbs . She accused me of wanting to fuck other women. Left me.

She left me and kept drinking.

That’s ok.

The end.

@Muthafukajones yeah but the reality of the situation is it was never your loss

It just hurts

@DeluxedEdition I consider myself heavily addicted to sugar so I feel like it was a fair deal. Every time I saw chocolate or my favourite fast food I passed it up for months. How is that different than an alcoholic seeing alcohol and not drinking. I really do judge her for that. I thought we were supposed to make each other better!

Yeah. That's a problem only they can solve.

@SomeIrishPerson that’s a tough pill to swallow
