So if you're, if you are diagnosed with addictive personality disorder, I have to go back and check the DSM out.

I've heard of substance abuse disorder, but it's been a long time since I've dug into that stuff.

So, but let's say that is, let's say that's a thing.

That doesn't mean that you get a lifetime pass on, on addiction.
matched
means you have a lifetime of really working hard on sobriety.
matched
If you have compulsion disorders, of which I've had, that doesn't mean you just get to buy whatever you want, do whatever you want, and everyone in the whole world has to follow you.
matched
That means I got to go do some work.
matched
Right?
matched
And so it's a context, not an excuse.
matched
It's a reason your body responds to genetics and environmental stressors, things going on in your life, to all sorts of things.

matched
You're worth being in a marriage with somebody you can count on.
matched
You're worth being in a marriage with somebody who you can anchor into as much as they can anchor into you.
matched
But you have to own the decision to leave.
matched
So let me say this, Sarah.
matched
You're not crazy.
