Hi Courage, thanks for your post. I LOVE deep introspection
Human psychology has been my hobby for about 30 years. I find it fascinating. I like to see other peoples perspectives on things too. Fascinating. It doesn't take away from my not drinking priorities. Or my ability to try and lead a decent life
I don't need insight to stop drinking, but insight into some of the things that bother me while not drinking, makes me more comfortable in my own head. And I like the insights other people have too. Not as a solution to fixing my problems, but because I like looking at things from all angles.
Yes, my family is wracked with alcoholism too. Both my parents, one set of grandparents, my grandmother, countless uncles, one aunt and one of my sons. Of course I wouldn't choose to die of it. I was being melodramatic and self-pitying haha
Horses for courses and all that
