Not that i didnt already know the causes if my alcoholicism, speaking eith my counselor really solidified it. How i always felt and was trapped and both physically and mentally abused my entire life and the only way to escape it was in my own head with alcohol. I never could stand up for myself. Now that ive kearn how to be assertive me formyself ive taken a big step. A roomate in the sober house i live in is a complete racist bigot. He withheld a peice if my mail that contained my SSC that i required to obtain a job. I was able to get my birth curtificate in order to get the job. Not knowing that it was he who had it. The letter finally was returned unioen to me. He clains that it just majically appeared in the mailbox a week after it had been stanped by the post office. I found fhe courage to bring it up in a house meeting and others joined in about his character flaws. Now weve gotten together to have him kicked out and are working on the process to get it done. All because it took scared little old me to stand up to a bully. Something i had never done in my past or could have done if not for getting sober. My counselor finds it to be a miraculous step in my treatment and us very proud of me, trying to rewire my neural pathways. Im still a nervous wreck however with a high anxiety diagnosis for the past 15 years. (Diagnosed). That will probably never go away, but i have noticed a change for the better in myself.
