Episode #14: Quit lumping everyone into your behavior! Just sayin

Ever been in a meeting or listen to someone talk and they say, “you know how we are” or “you know how alcoholics act”? I want to stop them in the middle of their share and say “no, we know how YOU act”! Now, I know it’s mainly just a way of speaking or euphemism however, when I use the word “I”, there’s a lot of power that comes with it. And by power, I mean the ability to change my behavior. I think by lumping the group into ones share, it minimizes the person’s behavior... they may be less likely to change because “everyone” is doing it. Today, when you’re sharing... say “I” not “you” or “we”.
