My marriage was quickly unraveling, and I couldn’t breathe. My husband, my love, my friend of 18 years was apparently not who he seemed to be. We had laughed together, we had given each other romantic Valentine’s cards, we were good life partners. Was I living in a dream? Could this really be happening? Was I married to a compulsive liar and a con man?
If you have ever been with an addict when they need their next hit or are in withdrawal you can almost feel their panic, anxiety, and sense of urgency. Depending on their level of dependency and what their addiction is, certain addicts would do almost anything to find their next fix. Once they take that drink or drug, the addict feels a sense of calm and relief and temporarily all is good in their world; however, this calm and peaceful state doesn’t last too long and before they know it, they are desperate for that next high when the substance leaves their system.
