The most destructive vice a person can have more then pride is self pity. I think self pity is the worst possible emotion anyone can have and the most destructive. It destroys everything around it except itself. Self pity will destroy relationships, it’ll destroy anything thats good in life. It will fulfill all the prophecies it makes and leave only itself intact. I use to be like this until i realized it wasn’t getting me anywhere in life. So i made changes in my life and now my life is so much better! I thank The Creator for that!

I think it is particularly sneaky one because it doesn’t seem that bad, or it didn’t to me at first. I was really shocked to learn that self pity is a kind of ego (“you are the worst person ever”). And it is a really hard one for me to let go of.

I actually when i did step work shelf pity was number one on the list and then judging myself not only as a person but i would put my self down and just beat myself all to hell and then self pitty but if i was not consistent doing that it would be the other way around i wore it like a badge of honor especially when if i was depressed and started drinking and doings it would be the oh you dont what going on in Eric’s world and i feel like especially in and through the escape to drugs and alcohol self pity goes hand in hand .working the steps and working in the steps to everyday life it helps especially the working on character Defects. Its the biggest demon of them all once it gets in your head it could lead to a relapse
