You had me there for a minute, Ms. E1!! I was thinking, WTF??? Then 1/2 way through reading it I started thinking, "I bet there's going to be one of those E1 story telling endings." Whew! . Glad I was right about that. ;-)
Yep, the similarities of drug addiction and affair addiction is uncanny. There really should be free clinics set up around the world to help men/women who want/need to end them. With the rate of infidelity skyrocketing these days, I wouldn't be surprised if this ever comes to fruition. Heck, they have hotlines for just about every other type of abuse/addiction.

Hi Alwayst,
Thanks for answering and giving the questions some deep thought. I agree with some of your assessments on why the addict might be thinking the way she

In the overall journal entry the thing that hit me the most was, it seems like a dangerous thing for a recovering addict to want to think her dealer is/was her friend. Friends don’t hand you poison to dispense in your body. Real friends don’t enable you to make destructive choices.
Thanks so much for this post -
