"Defiance? Why....I'm NOT defiant. I'm even kinda insulted you'd say I'm defiant. I mean, I may have a pretty firm opinions from time to time and I may not bow to EVERY rule out there, but that's not really being defiant. I'm just a nice guy, doing what everyone else is doing, but I seem to have all the bad luck."
...... ^^^^^^^^^ pretty-much word-for word that came out of my mouth when a therapist (also in AA) "told" me I was as defiant as she'd ever seen.
gotta love it.....when I'm defiant IN my response about not being defiant.
-- I'd probably add in "perfectionists" too - along with defiance. When you're running the world, it's gotta be juuuuuuuuuust right.
