One could be harshly judgemental against addicts but the longer one lives, the longer one sees that life can be pretty brutal at times and we're all just looking for a way through it and it's the minority who manage to make a really good go at it.

In some ways if you haven't made a glorious mess of life you aren't really living.

The same mental/emotional abuse that turned my ex-sister-in-law into a total drunk, turned my ex into a total control nut who appears to have it all together but in reality is trying to find the right pharmacological combination to get through obsessive-compulsiveness.

Let us support our own like family. Everyone who fights this particular demon, just put up the best life you can given the circumstances. It's all that we all do and all that's expected of us.
