Brian filled me in on Rule 62 (i appreciated that so much) that i couldn't help and correlate that to the discord that happens between ALL people, and maybe especially alcoholics. "Don't take yourself so [damn] seriously." If i don't take what others say to me so PERSONALLY, maybe i could actually see it the way it was meant to be taken. if they are being mean and difficult ON PURPOSE then they are not currently working a viable 12 step program (basically they are floundering in their own puke). they need prayer, not smart answers. AA is all about support, not one upmanship or pride. Thank you all for being here to support me. This program has saved my life and taught me about humility. it is up to me to take what is good and pure and leave the other stuff 'where it lay.' If i get angry, thats on me..... it is 'my bad' and blaming someone else does not fly anymore. Even when i want to "make someone listen" to what I think is right but i cannot get "my point" across, it is time 'let go and let God'. Spiritual growth is the bottom line. That is what is most important, not being right.
