that I do my best to remain teachable although I often feel much internal resistance

for this quote from The Big Book ...
Selfishness -- self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate. Sometimes they hurt us, seemingly without provocation, but we invariably find that at some time in the past we have made decisions based on self which later placed us in a position to be hurt.

Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.

A force multiplier?
What constantly amazes me? The way Bill Wilson, in few words, captures the alcoholic's thinking.
Oh Yes, I know about sore toes. Mine and someone else. But I do try to make amends. As usual, a good read.
Good Heavens!
When I glanced at that Colin Powell quotation, I thought it said:
Perpetual orgasm is a force multiplier.
