PHILOSOPHY OF SELF-ACTUALIZATION AND FREEDOM FROM EMOTIONAL PAIN IN RELATIONSHIP PATHOLOGIES

PHILOSOPHY OF SELF-ACTUALIZATION AND FREEDOM FROM EMOTIONAL PAIN IN RELATIONSHIP PATHOLOGIES

“The present is the future as long as there is no movement to change things in the here and now. Feeling bad in the present about a situation that you are not working on changing can only lead to your feeling bad in the future as well. Emotional attachments to sources of pain in the present lead to pain in the future. What is necessary in order to make progress and become happier in your life is to recognize this and work on changing the circumstances that are causing you pain in the hear and now.

Emotional attachment, despite the pain that may be associated with it, enables one to hold on to bad relationships with the hope that they might change for the better. Hope in the face of ongoing pain in such relationships allows the emotional attachment to continue and thereby allows the pain to continue. Freedom from emotional pain in relationships that are causing it is impossible.

It is in your best interest to realize that hope is the ultimate emotional gamble. If you are not happy because of what is happening in a relationship in the hear and now, hoping that it will change in the future is very risky business. If you are trying to manipulate the odds that circumstances will change by trying to help your partner change his/her ways and see the light, realize that it's like trying to stack the deck in your favor so that you can win emotionally. The problem is that you will never win like this. You will only continue to loose because your efforts at effecting change are directed in the wrong area.

Change can only be effected by you in yourself and no one else. You cannot effect change in anyone else no matter what you do say or bargain for unless they themselves choose to change. You are the only one who can choose to change your life for yourself. Once this is realized you become accountable for your own happiness; then all of your actions can become directed to the fulfillment of your own needs and desires. Thus your happiness becomes firmly placed in your own hands where it is meant to be.”

Livingwithanalcoholic e-group is a support group for people with relationship problems associated with alcohol abuse. It was founded May 3, 2000 by Marvin L. Speciner. The rationale for starting this group was to enable people, worldwide, who are or have been affected by alcoholic relationships to have a place to come and relate to one an other and offer and seek help in dealing with the problems they are experiencing in living with an alcoholic partner. Since it’s inceptions the membership has grown geometrically primarily by word of mouth referral. We currently have over 538 members and an archive of over 6058 posts from people all over the world who come to the group for help, and to offer support. There is currently no fee for this service. Members are free go come and go as they will, however people have a tendency to stay and participate and offer what they can to others who are in need of help. The philosophy that giving is receiving is strongly in play here. This grass roots effort has proved that there is a power in numbers when directed in a concerted effort to address the significant problem of alcoholism in the 21st century. No longer does an individual need to feel isolated and alone in dealing with an alcoholic partner.

What makes Livingwithanalcoholic e-group the number one group in its category on Yahoo groups (Health & Wellness > Support > Addiction and Recovery > Alcohol > Al-Anon and Alateen) is that it is working to help people change their lives for the better. This is in fact happing on a daily basis. Through the strength gained by participation in the group people have gained the courage and fortitude to change their lives and live in a self-actualized way. The end result is that we are making a significant impact on the lives of partners of alcoholics worldwide in a positive way.

Here a few examples of what members say about Livingwithanalcoholic e-group:

Marvin,

First let me thank you for starting this wonderful list. I don't know what I would have done without it and without people like you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

God Bless,
