It would always come first and no one and nothing would ever keep him from it. Not his wife, not his children, not his family, no one. He said even during sex his mind was only on the drug and how the sex might help him get it. I've seen that proven by addicts and alcoholics over and over. The only love they ever have for anyone or any thing is the degree to which it makes their relationship with their drug possible. The addict has no choice, the enabler has the choice, but only if they are willing to make it. smile

When my daughter was in rehab, the majority of the people were teenagers. Maybe if he went to a meeting someone would take him under their wings and help him.

The gal who wrote it was is in her early 20s. She writes about her drunken stupors that began at age 14. She is an incredible writer. Very gifted. I highly recommend her book to mothers of young gals and their daughters. I hope this is the first of many books for her.
