Compromise

The topic for today’s recovery meeting was "compromise". During the meeting I commented that there were some things, like following my spiritual path or the use of drugs/alcohol, that I would simply not compromise on. However, most things, like money or material possessions, are not very important to me and I will compromise on them. I find it amusing that during the moving process which I am now in the middle of I encounter many opportunities to compromise about selling, getting rid of or keeping various items. My initial response is almost always a vigorous and vehement wish to keep my possessions, I am attached. I then relax and compromise.
