Thanks Z. To be able to separate the person from the behavior is indeed a gift from my HP. When I get PO'd at a drunk it's usually because I see in him what I dislike about myself. I'm staring right at my past behavior and I don't like what I see. I have to remember that by the grace of God, there go I. That's why it's so important to take the time to inform people who behave badly that in AA meetings, we don't tolerate disruptive behavior, nor do we judge the person by his behavior.
