Don't they? One of the most damaging aspects of living with an alcoholic is they say one thing and do another, the insanity for me was that I had my head screwed trusting the spoken word, lol and then I just thought lol I did just the same, I said I am not doing this anymore or that, and the best one, this is your last chance lol 60 zillion chances later I think I finally realised actions speak louder than words,So I swap saying it for doing, stick something in your ears and blind fold yourself so your not watching them or hearing them, it's a bit drastic I know.
Anyhooooooooo went on my course yesterday, and for lunch I had a smoked salmon and cream cheese club sandwhich, and it was free well God sent it, bless him.
The reason I wrote this is there was a part on my course about communication, and how we do it, and how people respond to the ways in which we communicate, it's very important not only how we do this but to also to listen very clearly and be understood, if we are misunderstood we feel so frustrated, it's all very enlightening, righty next interview, much love to you and yours!
It took me a long time too to see the actions instead of believing what i wanted to hear over and over again. I'm trying hard to understand how I got to the point where I could listen but not see my own reality. Thank you for mentioning the importance of communication, it's a great topic for me to contemplate today. Wishing you well!
