What's in this episode?
I grew up in a household that leaned more towards the conservative side. I never felt like I fit in and I seemed different not just in my family but just in general. So, in order to go undetected, I learned to project what I thought people wanted. Which worked, for a while but one of two things usually happened:
- I slipped up one day and I got reamed for it
- I grew resentful and acted out in some type of destructive manner
My need to act out has definitely ramped up since getting sober. A joke in AA is that quitting drinking is the easy part, I used to roll my eyes at that BUT NOW -- honey, that truly was the easiest part of all of it (and the most harmful). In sobriety, I see my triggers all the more clearly and now that I don't have my numero uno vice booze to knock me out of my head/body...my mind still goes through hoops in order to scratch that damn itch.
Let's chat about it, shall we?
