Your Daily Reprieve

Your Daily Reprieve for Monday July 1, 2019 From Waynesville, NC When first humbled by my alcoholism, I found it easy to follow instructions. As a result, I developed a lot of habits that are good for maintaining my sobriety, such as going to meetings, reading the literature, doing service work, etc. But as time marched on, I found some new suggestions harder to swallow. I also found myself with a bit of what I call sober pride, which is the belief that I know about AA and staying sober since I have such-and-such time away from my last drink. It's logical. If I have time, I must be doing something right. If I'm doing something right, then I should know what that is.   Maybe I know what's best for me now. Maybe I even know what's best for you. ~Dan B., Grapevine, Jan 2008 "Integrity is telling myself the truth. Honesty is telling the truth to other people." --Spencer Jo

If we just call, we help one another stay sober, one call at a time, one connection at a time." ~Grapevine: Morristown, New Jersey, May 2003 It is true that integrity alone won't make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one. ~Zig Ziglar Big Book Quot
