November 7, 2007:

You were an alcoholic, too.

The narcissism, the self-pity, the rages, the difficulty making plans or making decisions or holding jobs, or sometimes even of concentrating for more than a few minutes.

A "dry drunk", they call you in rehab.

Your most central attribute is your need for control: of your family, your neighbors, your lovers, your dogs and cats.

I understand you better, now.
