I know what your talking about. Loving myself let alone others has been a big problem for me Bam. Being a self absorbed alcoholic I either forgot how to love or never knew....not sure which one. AA helped me to open up what was missing inside, with a little light on it now the healing is coming along. I'm healing from the inside out and learning how to live.
It started with the smallest of a relationship with a higher power I really didn't understand at all. Like Tommy I too find myself in places with people I have never met doing things I would never have done before. Low self esteem and low self worth are why I started drinking. Finding the cause of that is what's keeping me sober today.
