Sean and I were doing well in these moments when the playful, childlike parts of us came out. In fact, it was as if our damaged, addicted inner teenagers completely and totally got each other, him imbibing and me noshing. And it felt like when we were both our adult selves, we were a dynamic duo, like business partners brainstorming career strategy in a conference room. The problem was when we were out of synch, which was often, when one of us was in adult mode and the other in teenager. In these circumstances, we found each other annoying, irresponsible and impossible to deal with.
