The combination of the principles before my personality and helping you is what secures my seat in AA because I've watched people who were very, very spiritual edge themselves right out of here. I need to be a part of Alcoholics Anonymous. When I work the principles of AA against my personality... my sponsor, he'd say the same thing to me over and over again. I'm not playing God. What are you talking about? But I was playing God. What are you talking about? But I was playing God. I had created a state of separation between me and the people in AA through my judgment, through my judgment.
