Worst characteristic

What was the worst characteristic you had while using that you don’t have any more?

I used to be a bomb thrower. I would blow up situations and relationships and then run away leaving everyone else to deal with the fallout. My nickname was “Hurricane Smashley”.

lol.... one of my former sponceess was called "Captain Chaos, and DANG if she didn't live up to that name. But she's an amazing person and living her best life. She got back with her BF and everytime I see him he says thank you....hahaha.
As for me? My worst characteristic was anger and violence. Took me almost 4 years into sobriety before I stopped putting hands on dudes. I'm grateful to say it's been at least 10 years since I reacted and lost control.

I’m still working on mine but they have definitely lessened. Anger #1 and lack of patience #2 I have a loooong list but those 2 were top dogs

Stuffing down stress and emotions. Anger, deflecting reality, people pleasing.

Not living in the moment or being present. I actually listen to people now instead of waiting for them to shut up.

Lying constantly right to my husband and daughters face. I am so thankful everything is out in the open and I am rebuilding my relationships. I really hurt my daughter badly. Every time I went into a detox it was either on or around her birthday. All this started 2019 with rehabs and thank god ended in October of 2020. First but furious. Still fixing my wreckage. :broken_heart:
