I tend to agree, although not for the disrespectful reason. I think there is tremendous spiritual benefit in conforming myself to what is, instead of trying to change what is to suit me better.

If I'm unwilling to even accept the basic outline of a program of recovery as it's written, then I've kind of missed the point. All my life I tried to change the world to fit what I wanted. Recovery means I don't have to that anymore.
