"character defects"
Although I don't spend a lot of time obsessing about character defects or how I am supposed to get them removed as a route to recovery, I do want to let people know something about me:
When I'm at my worst on internet forums, I can be a pompous ass. So, please forgive me in advance and try to go easy on me when I do it. Maybe if you could just elbow me in a ribs and remind me of this tendency of mine before it gets out of control. I would appreciate it.
I'm still only at 52 days sober and I'm very new at this. I know I'm a very intelligent guy, but emotionally I'm a complete idiot and need to make a point of shutting up and learning from time to time.
Anyways, thanks for listening.
