[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 722152, member: 19290"] I've always felt the need to be on the record with him, maybe this is no different. But even schizophrenics and Alzheimer's patients have their periods of lucidity. It seems like what they see in these periods would be stored somewhere as reality. For addicts and narcissists too, life seems to shrink to the space between their ears and time reduced to periods between supply. It seems like metacognition might be valuable. Like being reminded that addicts Lie cheat steal deal Cycle through friendships Lose the trust of family Fail to launch Live under a dark cloud/have a victim complex Etc etc So they can keep in mind that this is an addiction phenomenon, as much as they may be personally invested in it. I feel like we might be able to do more than not enable them with chances and support -- like we might have a role in disabling their excuses. [/QUOTE]
