The problem with being with addicts is that frequently situations are cast in a “save me from drowning” kind if way. You won’t save an addict. You might get pulled into the water with them. But you’re never going to pull them out - and that’s not on you. For your own self-preservation, you need to love them from afar,…

THAT’S IT!!!!

I remember Hydrox commercials from the 70s and 80s. Because I am old enough to remember the 70s and 80s. I hold a place in my heart for this underdog against the Nabisco juggernaut.
