Reflection for May 7

Self-deception is the surest way to self-destruction.
Reality has a way of catching up with us.

—Sam Erwin

Reflection

There is the guy who goes to AA for a few weeks and
then goes back out and begins to drink again under
an assumed name. The only guy he's fooling is him-
self. Sobriety cannot come to any of us without self-
honesty.

Affirmation

Help me to always be able to see through my own spin
on myself. I know that reality checks are essential
using the fellowship.
