it was hard getting out of that storm for me, mr c.....and one of the reasons was because of what i had been taught about alcoholism...or i should say, what i hadn't been taught. but then, who takes alcoholism 101 in school, eh?
after the hurt was worked through (although, some still lingers there for me) and i was able to look at things more rationally and intellectually, the understanding of myself became my goal.
however, i still drift away at times, longing for the concrete answers as to what all happened.
you know judge judy says all the time....if it doesn't make sense, then it's probably not true. i have found that to be true in my search for sensible information regarding alcoholism.
