I think this may be the best, most helpful RUclips video I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
2 years sober tomorrow and I just started unraveling how fear has led my life. This has been such a perspective shift thank you for talking about it. This resonates so much.
This!!! Exactly
Very true video. I’m just on my way to a new AA meeting as I normally just got to the same two. I can feel the fear now. Day 86 sober. Keep pushing on ODAAT ❤
I love your video"s.I got sober in 1984(thru AA,like you say,I didn"t know of anything else).Met up with an old ,"drinking buddy" in 1993.He never stopped drinking,hung out with him for a short while and went right back to drinking.I"m retired now but it"s still an issue.I alway"s ran on anger,it motivated me,in my life.on the job.etc.What I never realized is that anger was just an expression of fear.You speak from experience,I love your voice,maybe i"ll really check out what you have to offer.My life is really just an existance.
This is really interesting. My younger sister is struggling with AUD, and I wonder if she struggles with fear. Because she is so mean and nasty when she's intoxicated. And she is always talking about how everyone around her is hateful, hurtful, mad at her, jealous of her; she's so critical of everyone. She picks fights with myself, our sisters, her husband and her children. She also regularly brings up past issues or problems, even if we have worked through whatever that issue may be. Or, she makes that issue seem much bigger or worse than what it really is. Yet, she cannot self reflect in anyway. I wonder if this is fear?
I had massive cravings this weekend but I just kept reminding myself that the hangxiety wasn't worth it. Especially on a Monday morning.
I think Craving and aversion and ignorance do... THE KLESHAS
