It's 4:52 am Mountain time in SE Arizona and I'm back for another sober 24 hours. I had a great, sober, weekend even though I ate too much.

Powerlessness

I understand that some of you may disagree and that's ok,
this is just my experience with the whole idea of powerlessness.

Powerlessness. When I first heard this word as it relates to my
alcoholism I dismissed it connecting it with weakness.

I was raised to be strong, Not complain, fight through pain and
don't get sick, don't cry.

I wasn't allowed to be weak.

Emotional pain- we just don't talk about it. Ignore the
elephant in the room. Get over it I was told. Just forget about it. Let it go.

Physical pain- If I hurt myself, My dad would say you are a Sullivan and
Sullivan's are tough. So don't complain.

I believe I drank over those stuffed feelings of trying to be tough
but falling short.

I truly did not know what to do with those feelings, when my dad was
saying you are tough I was feeling weak.

But I had to push through. I couldn't let him down. Couldn't
show I was weak.

I think the way that I was raised to be strong actually prevented me
from hitting a bottom sooner and kept me in denial believing I
should have been able to overcome this by myself.

But those ideas of being strong had to be discarded if I were to
begin the process of recovery.

I had to admit that though I may have been strong in other areas,
that when it came to alcohol and drugs my will was weak and I was
not going to ever get well until I admitted that I was defeated.

To Raise the white flag I found "That to Surrender is to Win!"

Any old ideas keeping you from really seeking recovery?

powerlessness I tried before but not accepting the concept and I fail, now I know I'm powerless toward alcohol and drugs and that's ok, that it is my first step toward recovery.
erfra7 here for another 24 hrs. more.
