I don't have long term sobriety, but I've been on the planet for a few years and I have an opinion...
We may be wired differently but I don't think we have more or less "character defects" than anyone else... We just can't afford them.... The Big Book talks about it in the 5th chapter, I think.... anger/resentment may be a dubious luxury for some, but for alcoholics it's deadly, or ... something to that effect...
No, I refuse to accept that we are no more or less deficient in any area of our lives than non-alcoholics, we just can't drink.

I think anyone on the planet can relate to that statement at one time or another!!
