Tw,

I dont give advice anymore,..but maybe you can relate to my story in some way.

Once I found sr I was able to get the direct information to find my way.

My problem, maybe like you, was/is 2 pronged.

1. Physical and mental addiction.

2. Selfish behavior/attitude leading to emotional suffering.

It was a cycle.

Since I kicked the drinking habit, I deal with the narcissism like it is a new hat.

I am embarrassed to think after all these years I acted like I was so special.

I can believe in myself, but I need to work on accepting others will not always believe in me.

Being aware of that helps me cope...to fight off the desire to relapse.

I probably could use some pro therapy as well, but I would likely lose my cool job.

I honestly think, since I don't drink anymore, I am getting better.

It is liberating.



Thanks.
