Even though my articles about God and spirituality have everything to do with my recovery (in addition to nearly constant cathartic blogging and writing), I’m not posting them in this section because there may be agnostics or atheists reading this blog. The more religious and spiritual articles have their own subheader which is listed under “My Story” in the header.

This predator/prey dynamic is the 800 pound gorilla in the room in all AA or NA groups that I have participated in. The people who have years, often decades of sobriety won’t even discuss the subject, let alone the number of people who have been harmed or died as a result of “going back out” due to the narc’s abuse. If only there were way to quantify how many victims there are and get an official body count.
