There's another saying around here too "he's like a man possessed".
Well tbf, the more distance I put between myself and alcohol the more I realize that I was surely that.
I don't know, I juts found the question interesting. I wasn't particularly raised strongly in any tradition but I do believe in God, and have a way to go until I defeat my demons fully yet I feel. I didn't even know this myself while I was drinking, and I'd be lying if I said there are aspects I'm not confused about. Maybe in the wrong forum but hey, sober 3 weeks now, some less negative thoughts at least. Very ashamed but. Peace
