- When I first tried to get sober I got no freedom. When i was drinking my obsession was about drinking, when I tried to stop drinking my obsession was about how not to drink. Either way I was imprisoned by obsession, my whole existence was focused on...
- I was reading some posts the other day that were talking about alcoholism/drinking being part of a pattern of self destruction. That drinking was an attempt to destroy ourselves.I have been thinking a lot about it since, for myself, and have come to...
- Thought if people shared their thoughts and experience on the following questions (BB pg22) it might help the people who are just beginning their own sober journey. These are questions I asked of myself for a long time before I got sober and was...
- Is the defining feature of alcoholism powerlessness (due to phenomenon of craving and mental obsession)? Is it possible to be an alcoholic and not be powerless over alcohol? If I was not powerless what would my problem be as, if I can stop on my own...
