Being Wrong

 I have found a joy in being wrong.  Yes!  When I go to confession in my religion, I tell all the wrong stuff I have done, and then I hear that I am loved unconditionally in spite of all the wrong that both God and I know.  I celebrate being forgiven for all my wrong.  And it energizes me to do right, to do better.  This is grace.  A person in recovery does a 4th step in which they discover all they do wrong, their side of the street.  They are amazed at the discovery, and humbled if not humiliated at their past behavior.  Then they tell someone, face to face, and experience, acceptance, love, rather than judgment or condemnation.  Recovery is a celebration of being wrong!
