I am generally skeptical of people who have a "perfect" program or "perfect" recovery. Based on my experience and observations a lot of folks who claim perfection are not being entirely honest with the group or in many cases themselves. In the end they often relapse.

For me hearing people who share about struggle and weakness in recovery is more inspiring. At least they are humble enough to be honest. But maybe I'm just being self centered. Just because I'm weak doesn't mean everyone else in recovery shares my defects. Who knows?

In the end I can't control my thoughts. It's my behavior that matters and I can control my behavior. I won't bash or disrespect someone who seems to be putting on a perfect recovery front. It's simply not a positive behavior for me to engage in. And now I'm just starting to ramble so I'll shut up.
