recovering from narcissistic abusive behaviours
Narcissistic abuse tends to be a factor for some family members who are dealing with alcoholism.
>> from narcissistic behaviors an alcoholic may have during active alcoholism
>> from a person in their life being both alcoholic and narcissistic
>> from having other narcissistic abuse in their life that makes them more susceptible to putting up with unacceptable behaviors
Not all people who have alcoholism in their lives have narcissistic behaviors present. This thread is for awareness and support of those who do.
Healing can take many forms. These are some things that can help end the abuse.
1. Self protection is important. What this looks like can change, as needed.
Yesterday mine was an emotional self-protection of calling my DV hotline. Twice. It gave me a very safe place to voice my truth and get into my courage, empowerment and gratitude stride. [note: psychological and emotional abuse are every bit as damaging as physical abuse]
2. Learn how to listen to our own healthy inner voice and gut instincts. Each time we do, this awareness is strengthened.
3. Trust law of attraction, God/Great Spirit/Universe and the good in life. As we change our own thoughts, habits and beliefs we gain very important skillls and tools. We can rebuild our lives and gain new perspectives of our own capabilities.
4. Have a big, wonderful life.
5. Therapists who understand narcissistic abuse recovery can be valuable.

Sending big hugs to you, Mango. I used to email my DV counselor in the middle of the night because that is when I could get in touch with them and not have the abuse A find out. They really helped me get a safety plan together and begin to work it. I’m glad they are also helpful to you. Narcissistic abuse is very difficult to deal with.

Alcoholism/addiction is in itself the ultimate narcissism.
So self-absorbed, self-destructive and selfish.
