Well, the EX is out of rehab

With the understanding that addiction is a disease and the realization that we are powerless over it as well as over people's lives, we are ready to do something useful and constructive with our own.

Then, and only then can we be of any help to others.

Well, the EX is out of rehab

Postby tavalon » Wed May 09, 2012 6:09 am

I didn't mean to know this and I'm seriously considering ditching facebook because I keep finding out things I don't really want to know. Of course, I have no idea where he actually is but neither does his wife. Sad for her, not of much interest to me. He is where he is doing whatever an addict does after rehab, I would think. As long as it isn't any where in the State of Washington, I'm good.

Hey Terri,
I can absolutely relate! I didn't totally ditch Facebook, but I definitely did hide a lot of folks in my newsfeed, delete some mutual friends, and block some folks so that I wouldn't be bombarded with seeing news about my addict. I try really hard not to know anything about what he's doing. What he is doing is none of my business!

I have not friended my son on FB---I know enough as it is and there are plenty things I just don't need to know.

Not knowing helps me stay in my hula hoop and tend to my own business.
(and no, I do not have my head in the sand)


(((hugs)))

Yeah, I had been so good about ditching the addict, his wife and those who never talked about anything else, but we are a tangled web and his wife wrote on one of my friend's wall' s. Aargh. But whatever, what he's doing isn't my business, it's his and his higher power and I am neither.
