What I have discovered is that when I isolate, or even just spend too much time by myself, I can become too important. At least to myself. I know we are all important, but other people have their own lives. I know from living in one day at a time recovery that I need to have humility. I know that the old tapes that can play into my delusional modes of thinking are just fantasy. One day at a time recovery reveals this to me and keeps me humble. I needed medication to see this. People in recovery, who have lost touch of reality, can relate to this. Too much alone can be bad for us. If we share how important our sometimes delusional importance is with other people they just might not be able to relate. As was said before, recovering people can.
