im glad ya see that!
I used to make excuses for my actions,early in recovery. friends( those real,true friends) knew I was lieing to myself. they would say something like,"to thine own self be true" or "good luck with that" when they heard me make an excuse or blame something or someone for what was goin on in me.
eventually I got the humility to admit and accept I am responsible for my actions and it was going to take T.I.M.E. for my thinker to straighten out.
I drank for quite a few years. the mental obsession wasn't going to leave in a week.
