principles before personalities

I sometimes need a refresher in the subj statement.  One of the founding principles of the program is about not letting my personality and will to run the show.  I am often reminded that in order to keep what I have, I have to give it away.  This means that I need to work with other people in recovery.  This can really be a struggle for me as some of are really “nuts”.  It’s impossible to like every single person in every single situation, but it doesn’t mean I have the right to treat them poorly.  I always try to relate instead of judge.
