Yvonne from Uganda and AA Solution Seekers

Yvonne recently told me that she thought I didn't like her at first but has realized it was all in her head. I said "Aren't us alcoholics just like that", because haven't I done just the same thing a hundred times if I've done it once.

My mind makes shit up. It tells me I'm less than all the time. It says I need to compete with you instead of be compassionate towards you. It tells me there is only one spot at the top and it better be mine, which leaves me feeling sad and sorry for myself if you get top spot. That leaves me with envy, jealousy and self pity when I could have been filled with support, love, celebration of others and sisterhood.

 

The alcoholic mind is funny...thank God I am not the only one!
