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?
