This is so spot on. In early sobriety I decided I wasn't '*name, the alcoholic'. I was '*name, who has alcohol issues'. Really helped with my mindset.

this is so fucking cool omg

Thank you for the reminder. I've been wallowing in my current situation, but I have to remember that what is more important is identifying with how I can overcome my obstacles; that is me.

He's paraphrasing Full Metal Jacket.

Being a Victim

Thanks! It's the idea that who we are can be shaped through words, how people treat us, and things that happen to us. Sometimes the poisonous things we encounter become part of who we are so we inflict some of that behavior on other people or even ourselves. So basically, the panther represents that negative outer behavior. The skull beneath is meant to represent a more vulnerable self underneath. The items in the four corners are common sources of 'poisonous things'. The breaking heart is bad/toxic relationships. The lock/chains represent insecurities. The hand is physical abuse and the message bubble represents verbal abuse.

Thank you! :)
