My shortcomings were not "removed" the way I thought they were going to be removed.

I can still be an impatient, selfish, arrogant SOB. The difference however was that I learned to change my behaviour

I am still the same physiological person I was when I came into recovery but I am learning to make healthier choices about the way I handle situations.

We CAN choose to act with patience and tolerance when dealing with others and it gets better with practise.

Gee I hope this is not confusing
