>>first and foremost, you didn't cause any relapses.

>>You do not have the power to reach your thoughts into their head and move their muscles to bring drink to mouth...

>>Sorry, but you simply do not have that power...

Is that absolutely positively true?
i cant tell you the number of times I have heard I triggered a relapse or made the drinking worse, or that I will trigger the person if i do x,y or z. And this is from other people as well not just the person. I often dont listen and will do or say whatever anyway and often they end up right and I look like I was the cause. i hear what you are saying about the power.

im not guilty of enabling anymore, but others absolutely are. this is where all my 'work' gets ruined. I wish it was me doing it cause then maybe things could change. it just feels hopeless. and I am so sad for this person.

Thanks for the support
