Many of us living in one day at a time recovery understand that our egos can be very sensitive at times when we feel as though someone else’s differing knowledge or differing opinion is a challenge to its standing in some kind of self-imagined hierarchy of being. At times when we feel we are being challenged we feel as though we are being disrespected. If we can calm our egos maybe we will be able to understand that differing knowledge or differing opinions can be useful for others because our own knowledge or our own opinions might not work for others 100 % of the time. We will learn either quickly, or sometimes slowly, that we all have our limitations. This is an important reality that we need to understand. What is right for one can be wrong for another. It’s simply reality. Experience, and humility, teaches us this one day at a time. It’s part of the process. Peace.
