I Lived a Horrible Life - Part 2 of 2

Published: Jan. 6, 2023, 8 a.m.

In this podcast, Bruno J. discusses what it was like and what happened to wake him out of a self-induced state of mindlessness.

We learn that:

  1. No matter how high we end up flying, alcohol and drugs will bring us down so hard; we won\u2019t know what hit us.
  2. Denial is hardwired into our psyches; recall I did not tell my shrink that I was drinking, even though I saw her every week for nine months.
  3. It really wasn\u2019t until I got fired that I had to admit I was not sane. The job and its stature were the only things left that said I was still OK.
  4. I got the message the hard way, and today I call it the gift of desperation.
  5. Only in the first step of the 12-steps of AA is alcohol mentioned. The rest is all about accountability.
