To my mind it was a pretty natural response - I drank for 20 years and surrounded myself with drinkers for most of that period. I look back and think I was a little bit brainwashed.
Once I become aware of that, I had no problems not offering the explanations anymore

Hi Dee
Not to be contrarian or anything (although I am), I'm not so sure what the difference may be between self centeredness and insecurity. On a side note, the first requirement to correct a defect, strengthen a weakness or...in general to change anything....is to "admit it it needs changing." Hmmmm....that has a familiar ring to it, yes? <G> Insane people seldom think they are. Sane people are able to identify (admit) their "insanity"....a la Step ten.
