I question about our "offending" in equal degrees to something or others

I have a higher power that is loving and understanding.

The condemning and persecuting god is a myth, I believe.

As a result of my recklessness while using I did take unneccesary risks. Who doesn't take unnessecary risks, especially while "young and dumb"?

I guess I've noticed that people in 12 step recovery can be quick to condemn themselves, and I question whether this is productive. The "garden variety drunk" means we have lost our individuality?
