I do know that the AA meetings are very important and beneficial for a lot of men and women who have developed alcohol addiction issues. My primary concern is the announcement that they use I am an alcoholic. For me the words I AM represent the words and works of God. This means that I AM will be the most effective words in the dictionary and what-ever we attach to them we enable.
Ter em conta
Every time people tell themselves I’m an alcoholic they enable that behavior and at the same time they mistreat their authentic and Godly or Good Self. I know that these people are stepping out of denial that has a fantastic intention of being honest about their drinking issue. However the truth is that they aren’t an alcoholic. That statement is actually a lie.
Why? Because excessive use of alcohol isn’t who they are; it’s something they do. It’s a learned behavior and therefore with support it can be unlearned or undone again. The repetitive thinking and talking I’m an alcohol becomes a private opinion. And as we believe e become. And then we assert, individually and together something along the lines of Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. We insist there isn’t any cure and we spend a life time in ‘recovery.’
Lembre-se
Over time these beliefs become real for us and we spend a life time identifying ourselves as an alcoholic and constantly in the condition of recovery. These beliefs, together with the suppressed emotions that lie under, will continue to try to push someone off the wagon, maintaining a cycle of aversion and dependence in movement. I can not help thinking that perhaps all allergies, aversions, cravings, or dependence come from precisely the exact same source. Consider It. Most people who have addictions or addictive behaviors usually feel guilty.
My question is what comes the guilt or the material? Are we addicted to this guilt? Do the unhealthy and unconscious feelings of guilt trigger the requirement to find the unhealthy substance? Or does the substance-abuse activate the guilt? Are we addicted to the outside compound we use and abuse, or are we addicted to the subconscious inner compound we create through our limiting beliefs; self-abuse, self-judgment, etc. which then brings about these unwanted feelings. And what drives those feelings and actions? Is it fear or is it love? All of us know the answer to that do not we? As we get into, and we re-act into the inner chemical produced by that inherent fear of not being good enough, or of the feelings of guilt, or what ever it is, we’ll feel pressured into buying something to feed and to fulfil that sense.
Nota final
All we really do is put up a series re-action of poisonous addictions within and with out. And to increase the toxin we go around calling yourself an addict, or an alcoholic, re-affirming our behavior as though it’s who we are. When we are ready and willing to look inside and discover what really drives the outside dependence and address which, we discover new options. I feel that by dividing who we are out of our behavior, we provide our self a far better likelihood of releasing what we think about ourself and recuperate that genuine sense of self. Now, we can discover new ways to re-connect with this true sense of self and self-worth we search for in the jar. I found that a lot of the things I craved weren’t conducive to my good health and well-being. The very things that I generated an aversion to have been often the things that encouraged my well-being. Was I addicted to love, or was I addicted to abuse? As I researched beyond the outside troubles, I discovered that the toxic build up from the aversions I developed myself, in addition to the self indulgent and lack of self compassion, were poisoning my immune system and making life intolerable. When I cleaned up the poison on the inside, the exterior became tolerable. I became more sensitive to some deeper level of self, and in doing this I became more sensitive to my true needs and wants.
