I came to believe that I cannot do this alone.
From childhood, despite the love I experienced,
I had never let people, even those closest to me,
inside my life.
All my life I 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.

Thought to Ponder....

Learning to trust is one of life's most difficult tasks.
