My "selective hearing" got me in a lot of trouble in so many ways. I didn't want to hear what I needed to do, I only listened to myself tell myself what I wanted to do (drink, drink, drink). Since I have learned how to tune out those voices in my head (well, some of them won't shut up--still learning) and listening to other alcoholics share how messed up their own lives became because of alcohol, my ears have grown up so much!
