If we always view other people as competition, or judge them in a compare and contrast attitude to ourself, we will never see them as being the Presence of Christ, for Christians, Presence of Allah for Muslims and so on. In recovery we can be so competitive as to miss the gift of others in the room. “Thank God I am not as bad as that person,” and so on. If I can get comfortable with myself, my good and not so good, through meditation, or talking it out with other confreres, I have a chance to see the gift of the other in my life.

I find its helpful to look for the similarities rather than the differences. (Meditation & prayer always help this recovering alcoholic. ❤️)
