If I may ask (?) Do you have any addictions?
I ask this because you will not be of enough will and health and personal power if you are in active addiction.
I ask because I know the theft of energy and self belief that addiction causes.
You needn't answer if this is intrusive, incorrect, or not useful for you.
Otherwise:
1 - IMO you are so often venting to cope - and will continue to vent to cope - as long as that gives you enough temporary relief; or s*** hits the fan and forces the radical change needed that you're resisting.
2 - "Argue for your limitations; and sure enough, they're yours."
(Richard Bach)

Chapter I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost … I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in … it’s a habit … but,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
Chapter IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter V
I walk down another street.
I ask this because you will not be of enough will and health and personal power if you are in active addiction.
I ask because I know the theft of energy and self belief that addiction causes.
You needn't answer if this is intrusive, incorrect, or not useful for you.
