you sure are asking the right questions! All the attitudes that you brought up are all part of alcoholic/addict thinking. I know it just blew me away when I did my fourth step and found out that the world didn't revolve around me and my thoughts and my desires.
It's difficult in early recovery to feel a sense of belonging to the rest of the world.. it's hard to find a sense of place among everyone else. Anna had a wonderful suggestion for you to try and give back some of what you have... nothing like helping another younger (or older for that matter) in their sobriety to hear what you know. I never felt much self confidence before I sponsored women. I couldn't believe the stuff that was coming out of
my head.. Finally, I felt that I had arrived and was just one more person in the world that didn't drink period. I had grown up... emotionally I had matured.
Keep up the good work.. sounds like your mind is on your side!!!!
That was a good healthy strong rant so rant on!
