Deciding When to Leave: Breaking Free from an Addictive Relationship
“If this person would never change, if addiction is going to be a part of their lives, for the rest of their lives, if relapse is a possibility, if they're going to continue to drink and use- and this could happen over and over again- do I want to be in this thing? And if the answer is no, I do not want to be in this thing. Then you need to exit that relationship from my perspective and get a sober person who doesn't have an alcohol problem or a drug addiction.”
