wait a fricken minute... you became an alcoholic because you spent your life trying to please others? Sorry, calling BS. More likely your 'people pleasing' was more about getting something in return rather than really knowing and caring what others wanted or needed. There is a difference see? Selfishness can be disguised as people pleasing easily by manipulative selfish alcoholics. See you are still at thinking about yourself. Good luck with that. Hope you don't crash that bike and really need someone because it is clear you have no idea how to have a mutually considerate relationship. And another thing, don't blame your CHOICE to be a drunk on others not buying into your manipulations.

Seriously, be honest with yourself. Was your 'people pleasing' really about helping and considering those people or was it more about you doing things to get their approval and attention because you expected others to fullfill you rather than do it for yourself? No one makes or causes another person to choose to be a drunk or drug user. There are plenty of us out there who have been abused and tortured and instead chose to do the hard work of healing and taking responsibility for ourselves. It's really sad because people like you give real victims who are actually victimized a bad name and less empathy in general when you use your problems as a ticket to make even more problems for yourself and others. I hope you get this.

I place no blame anywhere. I merely make an observation. I tried to please people. I became depressed. I am a recovering alcoholic. My bike makes me happy. You dime store psyches can analyse all you want. Sometimes a statement and thread of events is simply a statement and thread of events. Analyse yourself. See you on the highway.

35 people who think being a selfish drunk is acceptable. 1 person who is not in denial. Can't we do better than this people?

The only person you need to please is yourself. Too bad it took you 55 years to find this out, but it's never too late!

hmmmm...the ONLY time my ex ever took his Harley out was when he was buzzed--usu. wound up walking it home, b/c he wasn't much of a mechanic either ;~}maybe there's no correlation, but I tend to agree with the posts calling out the OP: drug addiction is SELFISH, self-indulgent behavior no matter how you look at it, and THEN they expect you to feel sorry for them for all the grief THEY CAUSED YOU!!!

Sorry my friend. It was not the people you reached out to that caused your alcoholism. It was the shadows in your heart from unresolved issues. Just like the guy who is mean and nasty, but buried within his heart is a gentle, but tormented soul. The Harley brings comfort while riding alone only because it provides you with an opportunity to withdrawl from society. Think about that.

2^BS. You did place blame. Geez... your kind does nothing but lie lie lie - to yourself and to everyone. It is sickening to watch and see. Here is a tip... you aren't recovering from anything. You CHOSE to be a drunk and drink. Nobody and nothing forced your hand. You lie and tell yourself you are recovering from a disease so that you can pretend it wasn't a conscious decision to escape and be a problem to get attention. There is NO disease of alcoholism. If there were you would still be drinking now. You made a choice to drink and then you mad a choice not to except you are still avoiding the responsibility of your choices. Yep go ride you bike - a big selfish kid. Shame.

Sounds like you are finally being true to yourself and taking care of yourself. Let that bike take you places you've never been and bring you joy and peace. I love riding too. There is something freeing about having the wind in your hair. Enjoy that beautiful machine. Take care of yourself, continue to stay sober and be thoughtful of others. Merry Christmas !
