![]() This brought a lot of thought, followed by some meditation to see if that fear was still there. Some days, it still can. The people pleaser can still come out, and I fear what people are going to say, will they accept me, will they like me for who I am. I told my first bridge partner in my site that I had something to tell him before he agreed to play with me. (FEAR) I told him that I was a recovering alcoholic, and I had been clean and sober for several years. He said, "I didn't think people with alcoholism could recover.?" I have no problem with the fact, as long as you know how to play bridge. What is normal? I cycle on the washing machine. I use to act normal for an alcoholic. Thanks to recovery, I try to the best of my ability, to live as a recovering alcoholic, free from the hopeless state of mind and body. I had an elder in AA, tell me that it took 8 years in recovery to be 'normal' and able to live like an Earthling! Last edited by MajestyJo; 08-08-2013 at 03:01 AM.
