ERODING SOBRIETY

“Nothing counted but thoroughness and honesty.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 65

“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities.” Luke 16:10

For what it's worth: My identity was lost in the lies. By the time I showed up at the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous, I did not know my real self. So, not being able to be genuine about who I was, with God’s help I became rigorously honest about my experiences. In sober time, the real pieces came together and I dumped the lies. Years practicing the principle of honesty and begging God's grace, I have learned who I am, and today, when I share about myself, I double check my honesty so the lies never creep back. It is that first little one that starts eroding my sobriety.

God bless you.
