Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Rambling vent...
Arrogant, self destructive, self hater. I love me. I hate me. I love people, but DANG I treat them like shit sometimes!
I am a a living breathing contradiction!
YEARS I have blamed other people for my problems. ALWAYS someone else's fault. I'M always right. I'm smarter. I'm kinder. I'm tougher. Whatever! MAN, I wonder why I was the only one of 4 sibs to have the issues I had as a child and now as an adult. BECAUSE I'M THE PROBLEM. I was and AM the problem.
OMG, I threw a kid's TV out his 3rd floor dorm window in college cuz I was pissed and drunk!!!
I need to look in the f'in mirror. I am an alcoholic with anger management issues and an oversized ego. This has nothing to do with my life or upbringing. It's freakin ME that's the problem!
And I have to figure out how to LOVE myself so I stop self destructing AND I have to find humility.
Can anyone relate?

Catch yourself thinking, observe your thinking. Each time you are able to see your thoughts, you catch the ego trying to be you.
Each time you catch the ego, you take a bit of its energy away. Eventually, you will simply be able to observe the mind in action and not have to react.
Take it easy, Step 10 and 11 asks us to pause before we react. Do this often.
