So I did what they didnt think i had the courage to do, walk away 18 months ago and counting.

Advice from someone with an addictive personality:
You can always go back for just long enough to remember why you left in the first place. It always made me feel better about my decision of cessation in retrospect. Realistically, it's best just to stay away. Not telling you not to have a relationship with your family, but ridding yourself of toxic environments/relationships destroys you and heals you simultaneously.
What you did took courage.
