Yep...I would say just about everyone in any kind of recovery process experiences the loss of someone that is just toxic to their health...
Keeping yourself "safe" is the most important ( and sometimes most difficult) thing you will ever have to do...
If we're motivated to making changes, we do whatever it takes to pave the road to a better tomorrow...
The importance of being in today is to not wonder, "what if" and keep our focus on what we're doing now...
Never can tell who you'll meet up w/ in a healthier space...

Yup going through that right now cut my "best friend" out of my life I just can't take him using me and my family anymore. I'm not a better person when he is around though not uncomfortable. Still I go onto his facebook to check up on him doing the things we used to do together that since we got sick he has completely shut me out of.

Its hard to say goodbye to someone who jas been in my life for 25+years, but good bye I don't need him he needed me when he would get low and depressed.

I have my wife and kids and family not my fault and problem he is all alone, and I need to start making it be.
