RESPONSIBILITY
“Man must cease attributing his
problems to his environment and
learn again to exercise his will, his
personal responsibility in the
realm of faith and morals.”
–Albert Schweitzer
God has created me to be a responsible human being and that means
that I must seriously consider the choices and decisions that could
affect my life and the lives of others. Today I understand that true
freedom can only be experienced within the restraints of a responsible
life.
For years I blamed other people for my drunken behavior – family,
bishops, job, world situations – even God! But the truth was that I
lived an irresponsible life around alcohol. I ignored the facts that
surrounded my drinking.
Today I make a responsible decision not to drink, and I also take
responsibility for my life. I cannot blame other people for the mistakes
that I made. My real freedom is experienced in my responsibility.
Give me the freedom to impose my own constraints.
