Addiction loves to show us little glimpses of our loved one, right? It's such a smart disease, and it figures out that we're like getting done. We are getting ready to put down an ultimatum or hold a boundary, and so it'll show us a little glimpse of our loved one that makes us think maybe it's not that bad. Maybe it's over.

He had very rarely been at home and he came over and said, hey, I really miss making layered Thai with you. I was thinking we could do that. I immediately rush out to the Harris Teeter and get all the ingredients to make the layered Thai. And the whole time I'm like, I must be crazy. He doesn't have a problem whatsoever. Or if he did, it's long gone because here he is, here's my loved one. And so I got all jacked up and thought this problem is in my history.
