Inside Beyond the Lies

THIS IS A FACT: If you are the loved one of an addict-alcoholic, you have been chronically subjected to manipulation.

Chapter 5.2: WHY LEARN ABOUT HOW ADDICT/ALCOHOLICS MANIPULATE?

 Can you relate to any of these questions?

  • When it comes to the addict-alcoholic in your life have you ever had feelings of suspicion, confusion, or anger?

  • When you are around the addict-alcoholic, do you find it hard to relax or that you are on high alert?

  • Do you have this nagging feeling that things are not what they seem with your addicted loved one, but you don’t say anything?

  • Did you say something and they scared you off with anger, or came up with some plausible explanation that still didn’t feel right to you but you let it go?

  • Do you have any of the physical symptoms of chronic manipulation like difficulty sleeping, inability to relax, constant irritability, or you feel exhausted all the time?

Addict-alcoholics are driven to think about using twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. How can the family and friends compete with that? The answer is that you can’t, no matter how hard you try, and trying will only make you sick too.
