Addiction is a terrible consequence of imbibing in something you shouldn’t.
Special needs kids are not easy to raise and to remedy some crazy situations my wife and I should drink alcohol, but instead she makes cookies. We don’t need family therapy because we have cookies. When we have a difficult situation we eat more cookies. When there is a total meltdown because something didn’t arrive in time from Amazon, we eat even more cookies. It doesn’t help that it is cold outside and it gets dark early, but warm cookies seem to correct all the world’s troubles. However soon, we need to figure out a way stop this addictive behavior. My suggestion is we drink more, but my wife is a responsible adult. I used to admire her for that quality, but now, I am unsure. Anyway, we soon have to transition away from delicious, mouthwatering, warm, freshly made chocolate oatmeal cookies. I do remind my wife that chocolate is not good for dogs, so she makes plain oatmeal cookies for Cooper, but I eat most of those as well.
Please don’t tell Cooper or my wife.
