Complacency
Complacency
When I was sober @ three years, I noticed I had a second, concurrent disease, i.e., "halo-itus." It's a condition that tends to peak in the third or fourth year of sobriety. Complacency literally means "pleasing to oneself." That was a dominant feeling on those innumerable days I was getting drunk in the 1980s. When I start feeling self-satisfied today in sobriety, I try to identify that feeling and practice the opposite. The opposite is humility, a/k/a God-seeking. The God-seeking will inevitably drive out the self-seeking. I just need to try to help others--and not get caught! Carry the message at all times--if necessary, use words.
