Hi all. Â Has anyone noticed that for months after starting complete shutdown of gambling or risky financial trading that you have no patience and can be downright rude to people around you I am finding this very destructive with everyone I meet constantly saying sorry about my change of characterÂ
I just want to get back to nice good craic me 😗
Hi
The addictions and obsessions were a form of escape for me.
The addictions and obsessions indicated that I was emotionally vulnerable.
IÂ found that in my recovery that my anger was an unhealthy reaction to my pains not being healed, that my anger was an unhealthy reaction to my fears not being faced or reduced, that my anger was an unhealthy reaction to my unreasonable expectations of people life and situations.
By my having unreasonable expectations of people life and situations, they were not causing me pains, I was causing my self pains.
When I was angry I would transfer my pains my fears and my frsutrations on to other people.
Only once I abstained from my unhealthy addictions and my unhealthy obsessions, could I start to heal the hurt inner child in me.
Only once I started to exchange unhealthy habits in to healthy habits would my motives change.
In my recovery I would open up to my therapies.
The hatred was only my pains that were not healed.
My feelings of guilt regret and shame was only my pains that were not healed.
In my healthy recovery I stopped being the loner.
In my healthy recovery I stopped putting on a facade and pretend that I was fine.
By being fully committed would speed up the healing process fo my hurt inner child.
On walking in to recovery was a life changer.
On walking in to recovery was a life saver.
Love and peace to every one.
