[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 749513, member: 1967"] My daughter and I recently had a conversation about addiction. She said that if love of families kept people from being addicts there would be no addicts. She said that she never gave a thought to my husband and I when she was using. She didn't do it to spite us or because of us . . . we simply weren't even in her head. She used because it made her feel good and that is all that she thought about. It didn't mean that she didn't love us. Addicts come best of families and worst of families. Repeat the AA mantra: You didn't cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it. I like to add a fourth C: You have to learn to cope with it. [/QUOTE]
