UNWRAP THE TRUTH

“We found that we had to rely upon the principle of attraction rather than of promotion.” 12&12 p.181

“For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Matthew 23: 12

For what it’s worth: It was not only alcohol that filled my being, it was shame. To hide my feelings of worthlessness, I tried to impress others. It became a habit, following me long into sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous. I can still promote myself instead of simply sharing the truth, especially at those times when the scares of shame bleed again. It is then I must trust God's love for me just as I am, and practice the principle of attraction rather than promotion, giving God the praise. I’ve heard that there’s no smaller package than an alcoholic all wrapped up in himself, so I need to unwrap any layers of deceit that still remain.

God bless you!
