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.
Since I've came to the Program, I've begun to recognize my previous inability to form a true partnership with another person.
It seems that my ego- mania created two disastrous pitfalls. Either I insisted on dominating the people that I knew, or I depended on them far to much. My friends in the Program have taught me that my dependence meant demand - a demand for the possession and control of the people and the conditions surrounding me. Do i still try to find emotional security by either dominating or being dependent on others?

if i totally missed the point, i apologize
No kidding I was reading this:
The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success. On that basis we are almost always in collision with something or somebody, even though our motives are good. Most people try to live by self-propulsion. Each person is like an actor who wants to run the whole show; is forever trying to arrange the lights, the ballet, the scenery and the rest of the players in his own way.
I think they dovetail very nicely
Thx
I always played the "go away-come here" game with those who loved me. Those deeply ingrained behaviors continue to take time and vigilance on my part to stay out of.
Either pushing people away or clinging to them is unhealthy. Identifying & owning the behavior is half the battle. Through outside help and a couple of 12 Step programs, I am a healthier partner, parent, sister and friend today.
