[Businessmtg] Acceptance of differing opinions

[Mary Abbott]

Thanks Betsy for bringing up this subject. Many of the people in this business meeting have served on the SC in one capacity or another. So I think we have a good understanding about your comments. 

I guess for me it comes down to understanding that we can’t change dominating opinions that shut down discussion and, I believe, SC service sustainability. The only person I can change is me. So I now participate to the point that I feel works best for my recovery.

I also believe that things continually change. So, I believe it is possible that long-standing dominance can soften and SC sustainably can change. I’m hopeful that it will. 

Finally, I’d like to add my gratitude for the service of our SC members. The recovery meetings are amazing. Your work to keep ASP functioning, so these meeting can happen daily, is greatly appreciated.
