AA Thought for the Day

June 8, 2003

Lies

All my life I had lived the deepest of lies,
not sharing with anyone my true thoughts and feelings.
I thought I had a direct line to God,
and I built a wall of distrust around myself.
In AA I faced the pervasive "we" of the Twelve Steps
and gradually realized that I can separate and protect
my sobriety from outside hazards
only inasmuch as I rely on the sober experience
of other AA members and share their journey
through the Steps to recovery.
