no its not human nature at all to go to the lengths i would go to, just to be right or to gain control of things.
even with drink we try with all our might to control it as thats what we are like but we can not control it, it controls us
normaly people dont need to control there drinking same as they wouldnt go to the lengths i would of gone to just to be right
of course people can be stubborn but many people know how to stop being stubbon and let it go
i had to learn that skill same as i have to learn all basic skills that normal people have a good handle on
jealousy, controling, obsessions, anger, you name it i have no control over them all
normal people dont go around with a base ball bat to scare the hell out of others who might of parked in my parking space
they seems to have a better way of dealing with things
there are a lot of things that are human nature but then i am a human being so its hardly surprising, but its the fact all these strong powerful emotions for me as an alcoholic are all so out of line with how my friend who are not alcoholics can handle with ease
