A sober me is not so bad

Friday, June 5th, 2009

The Big Book says, “What is his trouble? Is he not really a self-seeker even when trying to be kind? (p. 61) That describes me. I’ve always been self-centered and unable to feel empathy for almost anyone. I have never wanted to let my guard down. I’m afraid I will lose the people who love me. I am afraid they will know how imperfect I am. I think it’s ironic in galactic proportions that I wrote, “I am afraid they will know how imperfect I am.”
