Simple kindness and respect from someone who honestly cares for me and is not running their menagerie of games on me.
Oh my, the different personalities of an active alcoholic makes me dizzy. Easy to spot because I did the same things before I got into recovery. After a while, even the innocents caught on to my patterns, my need to dodge and run. And I thought I had everyone fooled but the joke was on me. Thankful I made the decision to get the help I needed. I do not miss those old days.
