Really pondering my “inability to learn from my actions while drinking” after reading this. I think that’s the biggest thing that helped me identify as an alcoholic, because I knew I wasn’t stupid…I could learn plenty of complex things in school, etc. but I absolutely could NOT apply critical thinking to my drinking behavior. It’s like it was a nebulous blob outside of my brain that was exempt from useful analysis.

That's a great insight! There's a reason that we could accomplish so many other things, but just not this.
