Reflection for February 17

If I stop drinking, people will think
I have a drinking problem.

—Malachy McCourt

Reflection

There I go again: "What will people think?" Well, con-
trary to certain internal alcoholic assertions, I am not
the moving center of the universe. A swollen ego only
keeps me isolated, where I'm no help to myself or any-
one else.

Affirmation

Today. O Controller of Egos, let me just get on with
my life and not worry about outside opinions.
