Fifteen days in to sobriety/recovery and along with A.A. suggestions have been having a good hard look at my faults.
In the past my alcoholism was fueled by self pity and blame directed towards my upbringing, seen as justifying my behaviour. This, of course, simply exacerbated my drinking and on going behavioural problems.
While I see the need to be aware of all my past bad behaviour too much negativity would not benefit my recovery. In terms of initiating new and decent patterns of living, it would impede me.
On the other hand negativity is not all bad. At times criticism will hit a nerve, whether justified or not, and this makes me think in my response, as to the need for adjustment in an area I have felt comfortable about.
A.S.I.A. ......a saint I ain't, alkie or sober I will make mistakes and see my growing as very interesting, ongoing, and full of hope.
