Thank you so much for blathering on! I am so thankful for your comments. You definitely can't control someone elses addiction, whatever it may be. I am glad that she ended up quitting but like you said, marraiges can have other problems. I totally agree that we are all addicted to something. We all want that dopamine hit from something that makes us feel good. I just wrote about my daughter and her unhealthy relationship that is forming with food. That one is so tricky because we HAVE to eat as humans. You can't just quit food. I hear ya!
It is so interesting to me as well about autism and being sensitive to extremes. I never actually thought about the hangovers. I guess you dodged the bullet on that one. I wish you well, too, and thank you for sharing all of this with me! :)
