Oh yeah baby, the character defects of others shine brightly but mine are barely visible to naked eye and the longer I stare at the bright light of other's defects the harder is becomes to see my own.

I think one of the gifts I have received from A.A. is the knowledge that I do have these defects or "improvable behavior patterns ", that I can actually do something about them and the certainty that there is an ideal out there that I can strive for even if I will never obtain it. We are not saints.

It's the trying that matters and it's the trying that puts more between me and my last drink than simply the number of days.

Thanks CAPTAINZING2000
