A Glimpse Into An Alcoholic Mind

February 19, 2007 by Mark  
Filed under Diseases & Conditions

I thought that might be an appropriate title for this entry considering that I’m about to begin it with “I was thinking today.”

Perfection. I was the type who had an unrealistic expectation of perfection from those around me. Who were those around me? Those who now have their own unrealistic expectation of perfection from me.

I must have taught them well.

My friend Mike is right on…

The disease hasn’t gone away and it still has the same agenda. It wants us dead, as in “US!” Everyone. With no prejudice. I must remember that and, as Mike said, be on guard for the unguarded moment. AA and my God were with me through the last few days because I’ve immersed myself, taken a bath, in AA, like I was strongly suggested to do.

It works if you work it.

The shame of it? As it appears today, doing my best to keep it in the day which isn’t working very well, these relationships will never reach “healthy.” They may never even reach “communicating” again. Of course, that is up to God’s plan, not mine and thankfully so…

I have this “clown” to thank for that if indeed that is the deal;

it - lower power

Things like this are the lower power’s work. [Graphic found at Uselessgraphics.com]

Sometimes we think we know whats best for us , because sometimes we feel we are on our way to living on a higher plan then those other people, only through Gods grace are we giving this day our daily breed ,strength and a peace most may never find . I was thouht along time ago where there is life there is hope I just look to the prayer of ST Frankie ya know the one ,,,when I say no never I’m doing exactly what my lower power wants for me to live with a negative mind , Iwas told many many times P M A Mike PMA Positive mental attitude , just do it and act as if you love them until you do act as if you understand them until you do and so on , go on give it a shot you don’t have anything to lose . do you ?

  1. [...] Mark at A Dozen Steps gives us a glimpse into an alcoholic mind. [...]

  2. [...] Offering up a perfect example of old thinking, having quite obviously spent some time with the itty bitty sh**ty committee, Hal was kind enough to drop this inane comment here yesterday. He got caught in moderation (that’s a blog term Hal). I’ll take a screen shot of it because I don’t want to use up valuable space at A Dozen Steps. Here it is, in reference to this post last year: “A Glimpse Into An Alcoholic Mind” [...]
