We are only as sick as the secrets we keep. ~Anonymous
It is dangerous for us to keep secrets. Shame builds, and we’ll want relief. We may turn to alcohol or other drugs. True relief comes by talking about our secrets, by sharing who we really are with others. Our program helps us live a life based on honesty. Our program helps us battle shame. We don’t keep secrets anymore. We start our meetings and share what we tried to keep secret before. “Hi, my name is … and I’m an alcoholic.” Hi, my name is … and I’m an addict.” We keep telling our secret, and the shame gets less and less.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, I pray to live an honest life.
Action for the Day
I’ll list any secrets I’ve been keeping. I’ll talk with my sponsor about them.
