Am I running away from Alcohol?

My first sponsor said to me one day, " You traded your Alcoholism for I isms

Never heard this put exactly this way before, but it is so true. When I get full of "Me, Myself and I" then I am back playing the "god" of my life!

They say that the root of my disease is selfishness and self-centeredness. It is so easy to slip back into old ways if we don't keep that spiritual connection, and for me, it is contact with friends who will be honest with me when I can't be honest with myself.

I can slip on that blanket of denial and tell myself I am "just fine", yet this is a disease of perception, so unless I share my thinking, how do I know if it is stinking or not! Always sounded good to me! That doesn't mean it is right!!!
