"It seems that we are especially vulnerable to self will when things are going well. We cross the fine line that divides humble and honest pursuit of goals from subtle manipulation and forced results. We find ourselves going just a little too far in a discussion to convince someone that we are right. We find ourselves holding onto something just a little too long."
Not having to be right anymore is one of the blessings of freedom that NA has given me. I'm completely OK with being powerless to change your mind.
Hey Don! Someone at our forum signs off with'YOUR OPINION OF ME IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS!!! love that........Yes I also have been woking diligently on "my need to be right thing",that endeavor only brings me to areas I need not visit. My life moves toward more peace and serenity when I continually reach for God and remain teachable!!
