I need help. Don't allow me to lie to you and accept it for the truth, for in so doing, you encourage me to lie. The truth may be painful but get at it. I have a disorder that makes my using the most important pastime in my life. I will protect it with all my heart.<br /> <b> <br /> </b>Don't let me outsmart you. This only teaches me to avoid responsibility and to lose respect for you at the same time. <b><br /> <br /> </b>Don't let me exploit you or take advantage of you. In so doing, you become an accomplice to my evasion of responsibility. Don't lecture me, moralize, scold, praise, blame, or argue when I'm drunk or sober high or clean. And don't pour out or throw away my substances; you may feel better, but it solves nothing in the long term.<br /> <br /> Don't accept my promises. This is just my method of postponing pain. And don't keep switching agreements. If an agreement is made, stick to it. <br /> <br /> Don't lose your temper with me. It will destroy you and any possibility of you helping me. <br /> <br /> Don't allow your anxiety for me compel you to do what I must do for myself.... Don't cover up or abort the consequences of my drinking and using. It reduces the crisis but perpetuates the illness. Each time you pick up the tab for my irresponsible/unacceptable behavior you buy the next round. <br /> <br /> Above all, don't run away from reality as I do. Chemical Dependency, Alcoholism, Addiction, my illness, gets worse as my using continues. Start now to learn, to understand, and to plan for my recovery. I need help from a doctor, an addiction counsellor, a recovered alcoholic, from AA or NA. I cannot help myself. You too can get help from an organization or person who knows about my disorder. ( Nar-Anon, Al-Anon, parent groups etc.) <br /> <br /> I hate myself, but I love you. To do nothing is the worst choice you can make for me. <br /> <br /> Please help me, <br /> <br /> Your Alcoholic/Addict<br /> </p> <p>Peace of Mind <br /> What we are and what we are not.
