As long as I am clean & sober I win.
Everything else,
for me, is mostly a matter of respecting each other's opinions, and there are no 'losers', or really... not even any battles.
I like to express points and debate, but when it comes down to it... if I like the smell of sawdust and someone else doesn't - they are not wrong, if I like the color blue and they don't - they're not wrong. People can draw their own conclusions.
For me there doesn't have to be a winner and/or a loser anymore. Just different people seeing things in different ways.
Serenity & acceptance?

Does it 'win the battle' of wits every time?
